Meet our Future Leaders 2023
The movers and shakers pushing boundaries and making a difference to the community.
David Adesanya
David Adesanya is passionate about exploring advocacy through design and social action. This has taken him around the globe researching & rapid-prototyping to optimise solar energy with new bio-technology in Los Angeles, developing conversations to challenge stigmas between the East and West in Beijing and disrupting the approach to how architecture responds to the influx of refugees in Italy.
Dilemma, a pop-up talk series that brings people together to explore the silent conflicts that affect our communities, was born out of David’s passion for community engagement and consultation. Through panels, workshops, and debates, Dilemma provides a platform for people to discuss and find solutions to complex issues.
Borna Sadrzadeh
A recent graduate from Cardiff University with a degree in Financial Mathematics, Borna is interested in finding efficient solutions to modern problems.
Wing Card was born from the passion to innovate in-person networking by harnessing the same technology as Apple Pay to provide a fully customisable, contactless physical business card. With a tap of the card, your social media links and contact information magically appear onto the contact’s phone thus eliminating the need for a paper business card. Wing’s long term vision is to develop software that combines the positive aspects of online networking experiences with in-person networking and create more meaningful conversations everywhere.
Eleanor Bamber
Eleanor is an occupational therapist and swimming teacher and passionately believes in inclusion and providing opportunities for everyone. She is a big believer in finding people’s strengths and supporting them to overcome challenges and achieve something. From this belief was born, Bambers Inclusive CIC.
Bambers Inclusive provided occupational therapy based swimming sessions for people of all ages and disabilities. The platform offers group or bespoke training for people with disabilities to train as swimming teachers and act as role models for children with disabilities.
Krish Hathiramani
Krish is a final year Sports Management student at University Academy 92 in Manchester. Together with a wider group of UA92 students, Krish is creating a platform at the intersection of consumer activity and climate impact.
