Alexander Olkhovskiy

Hi! I’m Alexander, a second year Management Science student, running for Treasurer of RLBS. To me, involving members is at the heart of what makes a great society, and so my goal is to leverage this position to ensure RLBS is a society formed not just by the committee, but by those in it.

My previous experiences cement confidence in my skills to be successful as a Treasurer:
• An internship at the Mail.ru Group equipped me in dealing with sizeable responsibility
• Having chaired my school's Business Society for two years taught me what it means to lead with intention
• Working in an Active Investment Fund demonstrates knowledge of the industry of business
These experiences demonstrate my resilience and integrity, which are vital for a treasurer, both qualities I pride myself in.

As Treasurer I plan to;
• Branch out financial support to a wider range of careers in business
• Prioritise collaboration over competition with fellow societies to maximise events and funding
• Allocate funds to hosting more in-person events, making up for the lack-of these in the previous 2 years due to COVID restrictions

I am running for Treasurer because, despite the hurdles, I strongly believe it’s not too late to turn things around for RLBS next year. Above all, it was the freshers that missed out the most, and as one myself, I sympathise with this, driving the motivation to bring about a fresh perspective for change.
Thank you!
