Business Society: VP of Consulting

I’m nominating myself for VP of Consultancy because I genuinely enjoy working with others to solve problems, share ideas, and turn concepts into practical outcomes. Having completed the UCL Foundation Year before starting my degree, I have had the opportunity to understand the UCL community from different perspectives and learn how important collaboration and support are in helping people grow. This year, serving as a first year Client Relations Representative and taking on a student representative role has strengthened my ability to communicate clearly, listen carefully, and bring people together around shared goals. These experiences have shown me that good consultancy is not just about technical solutions, but about understanding people, asking the right questions, and building trust within a team. If elected as VP, I want to help create an environment where members feel confident developing their problem solving skills, learning from real experiences, and working together to deliver meaningful outcomes. My goal is to make consultancy within the society approachable, collaborative, and rewarding for everyone involved.

Picture this: a first-year nervously crushing a case interview with Deloitte after our mentorship programme. That’s the moment I want every consulting-curious student to experience, and as VP of Consulting, I’ll make it reality.

I’m standing because UCL Business Society’s Consulting division is our unique edge, and I have the experience to elevate it strategically. We’ve built the biggest Mentorship Programme and globalized the International Case Championship, this momentum needs focused leadership to sustain and grow.

My background proves it: winning case competitions (UCL x J.P. Morgan Design Sprint, Impact Investment Championship), leading consulting at Outfly, and founding the Young Entrepreneurs Club (mentoring 128 students). I know how to design impactful events, secure partnerships, and deliver under tight deadlines.

I’ll try my best to deepen relationships with top consulting firms from past events, ensuring sustainable firm engagement. I’m committed to balancing academics with execution, working closely with Client Relations for sponsorship support.

Let’s make Consulting the society’s standout division, one high-impact event and connection at a time. Vote for proven delivery.

Hi everyone, I’m Wali

I’m running for one main reason: I want our consulting community to be the place where people actually improve, not just attend an event, take a LinkedIn photo, and leave. UCL is full of ambitious and talented people, but consulting can sometimes feel like a mysterious space where everyone else somehow knows the rules already. I think our society should be the place that removes that barrier.

My focus as Consulting VP would be simple: structure, access, and community.

First, I want to introduce a weekly “Consulting Gym”. Short, structured sessions with case drills, practical frameworks, and live feedback so members can consistently practise. Consulting is a skill, and like any skill, it improves through repetition and learning from others.

Second, I want to build a clearer pipeline for careers support. That means a termly schedule covering CV building, case interview preparation, networking strategies, and insights from people already in the industry. Resources should be organised and easy to access, not scattered across posts that get lost.

Third, I want our events to feel genuinely engaging and connected to the wider UCL community through collaborations, interactive speaker sessions, and an environment where people actually get to know each other.

If you want a consulting community at UCL that’s more useful, more welcoming, and genuinely helps people grow, I’d really appreciate your vote. Thank you.
