About Me
Hi, I'm Chad Wolpert, originally from South Africa but now calling London home for the past 7 years. Previously, I served as the Director of Strategy & Operations at Morressier, where I played a key role in shaping the world's leading platform for early-stage research. Prior to that I led Operations at Up Learn, scaling the company to a £20m+ valuation.
I received my MBA from Leipzig University, Germany, and worked at IBM, where I served as a strategy consultant on the first cognitive computing project in Africa.
Running is my passion, having run 11 marathons and taken on a running coaching role.
