Arne Herbert (German)

Hi, my name is Arne, I'm 24-years-old, and I'm pursuing the Global MSc in Management in my first year. While I grew up mainly in Germany, I've always believed that life is not meant to be lived in one place. I was fortunate to spend year 10 of my high school in a Canadian boarding school, which sparked my ongoing passion for entrepreneurship and management studies. After returning to Germany and completing my Abitur, I moved to Malaga to learn Spanish before pursuing my undergraduate degree at WHU - Otto Beisheim School of Management (WHU). During my time at WHU, my passion for entrepreneurship and management studies solidified, and I also became enthusiastic about venture capital and consulting. After undertaking various internships in these respective fields, I've mapped out a three-step career plan, which kicks off with a role in consulting, then a switch to climate-tech venture capital, before starting my own venture. For almost ten years, I have been active in extracurricular activities in the fields of education, startups, social action, and humanitarian relief. In my free time, I love to undertake sports, particularly powerlifting and calisthenics. I'm really looking forward to meeting you all and helping where I can!

Ashley Maheshwari (Indian)

Hi, I'm Ashley Maheshwari, currently pursuing a Global Master's in Management at the London School of Economics (LSE). Alongside my studies, I work with my family's consulting firm, bringing together academic insights and practical business experience. Before joining LSE, I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Manchester, where I was honoured with the Stellify Award for my dedication to personal and academic growth. During my time at Manchester, I led Enactus Manchester as President, empowering students to create social enterprises that addressed real-world challenges. Additionally, I served as President of TEDxUoM, fostering discussions around innovative ideas and thought leadership. These experiences honed my leadership and organisational skills, and I'm excited to bring that same energy to the LSE community. As a Student Ambassador, I want to help you maximise your LSE experience, whether it's through getting involved in extracurriculars, building your network, or making the most of the opportunities on campus. Let's make this journey as enriching and impactful as possible!

Ben Wegener (German)

Hi, I am Ben! After completing my undergraduate degree in Computer Science in Germany and engaging in California's software industry during my gap year, I felt ready to embark on an exciting new chapter here at LSE. I chose this program to transition from building towards shaping technology. Creating tech that truly matters and makes the world a better place requires us (engineers) to uncover underlying causes and approach transformation and product creation holistically. Currently, with three years of hands-on software engineering experience at large corporations, I am now the founder of an early-stage AI startup. I strongly encourage all aspiring tech entrepreneurs to give this program some consideration. Whether you are exploring the mechanics of fundraising, working towards product-market fit, or steering your operations towards excellence, LSE has you covered!
