About me

Hello, hello! My name is Meri Paterson and this is where I write – very intermittently – about things that interest me.

That used to be the business of books – until September 2016, I worked as a business book editor. Then I ‘pivoted’, did an MBA at Imperial College Business School and now work in capital markets technology consulting. (That’s a pivot and a half.) I live in London with my husband and two young sons.

I’d like to say I defy categorisation, but I actually fit quite neatly into several boxes:

  • ‘Other White’ (Finnish)
  • Immigrant
  • INTJ
  • Straight
  • Atheist
  • Libertarian
  • Reluctant millennial
  • Glass-half-full
