Hannah Pring, Head of Compliance, Lockton Companies, Executive MBA Student

King’s Business School launched its Executive MBA to equip senior professionals with the leadership tools and knowledge to address some of the biggest challenges facing business – and the world - today. Meet some of our first class of Executive MBA candidates who are preparing to make an even bigger impact. 

Hannah Pring is one of these people. For her, the opportunity to support others, whether that’s working mothers or those affected by the war in Ukraine, was part of her motivation for undertaking the King’s Business School Executive MBA. 

In March 2022, Hannah found herself taking a journey that would renew her sense of social responsibility. As news of the chaos following the Russian invasion of Ukraine unfolded, Hannah and her colleagues were driven by a desire to help those whose lives had been dislocated. They mobilised quickly, and not only did they collect aid for Ukraine, but they delivered it themselves. After a gruelling 40-hour journey there, and 40 hours back, she and her colleagues distributed vital supplies for affected people, including blankets, food and clothes. 

Yet the journey was not a moment of pride for Hannah. Rather, it left her humbled by the gravity of the situation and her feelings were not of satisfaction, but of deep reflection. 

This strong sense of social responsibility has been a constant in Hannah's life, ingrained in her from a young age through fundraising at school. When Hannah started studying law at university, she secured a job as a paralegal through a professor. This experience made her realise that success often depends on who you know, rather than just your skills, motivating her to advocate for a fairer professional environment where talent is recognised regardless of background.
