About Shak

At FT Strategies, Shak works with media organisations to grow and retain audiences, diversify revenue, and navigate digital transformation. Since joining the firm as a consulting intern and progressing into a strategy role, they have supported client engagements end-to-end, from analysis and insight generation through to recommendations and implementation support. Their background in company secretarial work and legal assistance means they are comfortable operating in highly regulated environments and working closely with senior stakeholders on governance and organisational change.

Earlier roles in professional services, administration, and customer-facing environments have strengthened Shak’s communication, stakeholder management, and operational skills. They are motivated by helping organisations adapt to a rapidly changing landscape, and are known for being thorough, collaborative, and committed to delivering high-quality work that translates strategy into action.
