Anita with friends and husband, Kristian (far right) at Tough Mudder 2017
First launch of the Alpha Trader Forum Global Summit
at the London Stock Exchange in 2013 opening the
markets with the buyside traders.
I also helped to launch the first FIX EMEA trading conference
in London. I reported into the CEO at FlexTrade and helped the
sales teams globally. I left the financial markets to work at a
mortgage sourcing software company where I was a Director
and part of the Executive Board. I set up K&K Global Consulting
after I was made redundant in a merger of equals.
Who I am outside of work:
First and foremost, I am a very proud mother. My daughter
certainly keeps me on my toes! I tell her she is a beautiful
individual ‘both inside and out’ and I love to champion her
learning and development and her numerous artistic talents. I
am a licensed chaperone with Surrey County Council and help
backstage with my daughter’s theatre performances.
I enjoy exercising and keeping fit. When I was younger, I
obtained numerous dance qualifications with the International
Dance Teachers Association (IDTA) as well as the Imperial
Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD) in many aspects of dance.
In 2016, I trained as a level 2 group exercise to movement
instructor which involved theory exams, classroom teaching
and practical assessments. It is one level below a personal
training qualification. I found it very interesting to learn
about the effects of exercise especially for women and the
changes that we go through. I now teach three different styles
of exercise classes back to back on Monday evenings in my
home town of Weybridge, Surrey to 13-75-year olds and enjoy
running cost effective classes that motivates and encourages
everyone to exercise. I am lucky that over 600 people have
enjoyed my classes including the headmaster’s wife of my
daughter’s school.
I volunteer my time to help perform mock interviews and
mentor college students who want to have careers in the
financial markets. I also enjoy reading, criminal psychology,
snowboarding, swimming, yoga and spending time with my
family. I would love to be more creative - I just need to have
more hours in the day to fit it all in!
