Her work informs decision-making at both the national and international level, offering clients the analytical foundations needed to shape policy, direct investment, and drive innovation.

With a background in Economics, Ellesha holds an MSc in Applied Economics with Financial Markets and Banking from the University of Bath. Prior to joining London Economics, she gained industry experience at Airbus Defence and Space, supporting secure communications and intelligence projects across Defence, Finance, and Insurance sectors.
