Nadia works across SilentUnicorn, with a particular focus on strategy, helping businesses to grow and communicate with the outside world.

Nadia grew up in Yorkshire where she was a total science geek - winning the PFA prizes for Biology, Chemistry and Economics. She achieved the highest mark in the UK in her Biology GCSE, won the National Award for Marketing in Young Enterprise (the UK’s entrepreneurship programme) and was elected as Head Girl. Unlike the rest of the partners, Nadia did not launch a business at school - unless selling daffodils outside her house counts! Instead she spent as much time as she could in the drama studio, at poetry competitions and lost in books and plays. She attended SCALA School of Performing Arts, is Guildhall Grade 8 in Speech & Drama and worked as an extra on television shows such as Emmerdale and Frost.

Chasing her dream of a fairer world, Nadia went on to study Law at the University of Cambridge where she became a Scholar upon achieving one of the highest firsts in her first year. During her time at Cambridge Nadia was selected as President of the Cambridge University Middle Temple Society and awarded The Senior Harris Scholarship, The Rebecca Flower Squire Scholarship and the Lovell’s Award for Law.

Nadia started her career in 2009 as a corporate lawyer at Slaughter and May. During this time she worked in M&A and corporate restructuring in London and Hong Kong, and spent six months seconded to a FTSE-100 client. She then spent 8 years as a Partner of boutique investment management firm, S. W. Mitchell Capital. Having made Partner in her 20's after 18 months at the firm, she led the Business Development team and was General Counsel to the firm. Nadia had responsibility for the firm’s marketing and growth strategy, with a particular focus on the US, where she spends a great deal of her time.

Nadia also sits on the board of the AirAsia Superapp and FTSE-250 company, J.P. Morgan American Investment Trust. Appointed at the age of 30, Nadia became the youngest woman in history to sit on the board of a company listed on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange. She is roughly half the average non-exec age.

Although Nadia started on a corporate path, her greatest aspiration is to contribute towards a kinder and more inclusive world for all - which is what led her to become so excited about blockchain technology. She sits on the Investment Committee for UK charity, BBC Children in Need and on the Board of eQuality Talent, a social impact business helping to empower Ghanian women. Most recently, Nadia founded Bia, a pioneering 'learn to earn' initiative to support young people with their mental and emotional well being.

In 2017, Forbes listed Nadia as “Finance’s Number 1 Rising Star”. In 2018, she was named as one of Management Today’s “35 Under 35” (Millennials to watch) and won the “Rising Star Award” at the Investment Week Awards for Women in Finance. She has also been featured in The Times, The Sunday Telegraph, Investment Week and The Financial Times' wealth management publication, FT Adviser.

Nadia really likes ice cream, dancing and the feeling of hitting a tennis ball well (unfortunately something that doesn’t happen all that often!).
