Olivia Christie

Olivia started her career in audit at EY where she predominantly worked with retail and FMCG clients. After completing her ACA she took the opportunity to travel and landed a role with a drinks start-up in Nairobi where she got involved in all aspects of the business, from financial planning to running customer sampling events. Returning to the UK she then worked at a wellness start-up, before moving to the commercial finance team at ASOS to develop her wider business knowledge in a large organisation. While at ASOS she represented the finance department at a cross functional group focused on improving employee wellbeing. She is thrilled to be taking part in the On Purpose Associate programme and is looking forward to the opportunities and challenges it will bring.

Olivia holds a Natural Sciences degree from Durham University, after which she qualified as a chartered accountant. She is a keen traveller and has spent time volunteering at horseback safaris in South Africa and Botswana. Happiest on horseback, Olivia also enjoys countryside walks, reading and meeting up with friends.
