With a great aptitude for mathematics, Chelsey Bird fast tracked straight from her A-levels to a junior accountant role aged just 17.
She later decided to obtain formal qualifications while working full-time as an auditor – and then as an assistant financial accountant in industry.
Chelsey received an accounting technician diploma and, in 2016, a degree from the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales – the equivalent to a degree in accounting.
Her entrepreneurial journey started as she joined the Executive MBA at Warwick Business School where she co-founded Hy-Met, a tech startup supporting clean, sustainable, and affordable energy. Chelsey simultaneously works as a chief accountant at Terberg Environmental, a manufacturing group in the waste management and recycling industry.
Why an EMBA?
To achieve a position at C-suite level, Chelsey knew she’d need an EMBA. She had immeasurable experience in accounting but lacked skills and knowledge in the commercial, operational, or marketing sides to business.
Choosing Warwick for her EMBA was a no-brainer.
