Energy Trading and Risk Management
London 27 - 30 January 2026
I recently completed the Advanced Energy Trading and Risk Management course and found it extremely valuable. The program delivered a strong balance of theory and hands-on application, covering energy markets, derivatives, hedging strategies, and real-world trading simulations.
The course dives into crude oil, LNG, market pricing, and risk frameworks like VaR and stress testing which significantly strengthened my understanding of how physical and financial energy markets interact. I left with greater confidence in building trading strategies, managing volatility, and applying risk management techniques in real trading environments.
I highly recommend this course to energy traders, risk managers, and finance professionals looking to sharpen their market and hedging expertise.

Leading Organisational Culture And Change
Milan 13 - 17 October 2025
Universities are complex ecosystems where tradition runs deep and change can feel impossible. This program helped me understand culture not as a barrier, but as a lever. The discussions, models, and peer exchanges reframed how I engage faculty and staff in transformation efforts. I left with a clear roadmap and, more importantly, the language to bring people along with me. It was thoughtful, practical, and genuinely transformative for our institution.

Leading Organisational Culture And Change
London 28 April - 02 May
In finance, every decision is measured in risk and return — and culture is often the hidden risk no one quantifies. This program gave me practical frameworks to diagnose what was really holding our teams back and the confidence to lead change with precision. The tools weren’t theoretical; we applied them immediately. Within weeks, alignment improved and resistance dropped. It’s rare to find a course this strategic and this actionable at the same time. The certification from Oxford Executive Institute was simply the cherry on top.
