Edward S Lawrence

Hey there!

My name is Edward, and as you might expect, I’m immensely passionate about entrepreneurship. Having been a committee member of UCL Entrepreneurs since from my first year at UCL, I would love to grow my contribution to the society in the role of Director of Events.

To quote a Cliché, “entrepreneurs will change the world”. Cringe as it might be to say, it is entirely true, forming the basis for my love of entrepreneurship, and my drive to propagate entrepreneurialism to the UCL student body.  

Entrepreneurship has long been a big part of my life. I currently work at a venture backed PropTech start-up alongside my degree. Going back in time, while in high school I won the Junior Achievement Australia Company of the Year Award with a bamboo fashion sock venture. After graduating school, I worked full time at a start-up real estate agency, selling 66 homes over two years. More recently I helped run the Kickstart program, worked part time at UCL’s Innovation and Enterprise department and am a student partner at Entrepreneurs First.

This past year I was UCLE’s director of sponsorship and external relations. Through this role I brought in thousands of pounds worth of sponsorships and helped orchestrate numerous events. I now seek to focus my efforts on the events team, leveraging my network to bring in high profile guests from whom our student body can learn.

I can’t wait to see what we achieve together over the next year!
