Sherpa at MNI

Reuben Nehikhare

Reuben joined Tenzing to support MNI on its next exciting growth stage as it launches new products and expands worldwide.

He is an Irish-born Nigerian raised in rural Shropshire, England. Driven by the curiosity of the financial crisis, he studied Economics at the University of Leeds.

Reuben has ten years of business development and strategy experience across Financial Services and Artificial Intelligence. He has built sales functions and commercial relationships covering 14 major cities, in nine countries, across three continents, at organisations such as Bloomberg and Palantir.

Instead of accepting his MBA at Imperial College, Reuben joined Freshminds Consultancy (previously owned by Caroline Plumb, now at Gravita). Here, he worked with private equity-backed companies to support the CEO’s on strategic growth projects.

Reuben joined Tenzing because of the amazing Sherpa Programme and the cultural values that the firm lives by. The dedication to continuous learning and development truly sets Tenzing apart.

They call it perfect timing after years of long-term patience.”

Passions

  • Rugby Union – he never misses an England Rugby or Saracens match and often thinks “If it wasn’t for my ACL, I could have made it”. He plays for the occasionals at the Honourable Artillery Company based in the City.
  • African Food, Art and Culture – Possibly the most under-explored culture on the planet! He hosts quarterly supper clubs to explore new restaurants for his network. If you haven’t tried jollof rice, you are in for a treat!
  • Diversity & Inclusion – He is passionate about supporting black-owned businesses and has been a keynote speaker at Barclays, Google and various other technology-focused conferences.

Favourite TV Programme

  •  Anything jaw-dropping on Netflix! Recently, he watched Johnny Football and The Last Dance (for the 5th time). Any recommendations?
