George Riley

BA Economics & Management, Christ Church, Oxon (2013–2017)

 

George has lived in London for nine years, six of them in the London Borough of Islington. He currently leads the strategy team at Sainsbury's Group, based in Farringdon, a role he has held since 2024. Before joining Sainsbury's, George trained as a strategy consultant at Boston Consulting Group, working with retail and consumer clients globally to develop and win in the e-commerce space.

 

George read Economics & Management at Christ Church, Oxford, having completed a foundation year in Engineering Science beforehand. He grew up surrounded by farmland and nature in the Shropshire countryside, and hopes one day to return to a more rural way of life.

 

Outside of work, George enjoys a range of hobbies — skiing in the Alps, training for his next half marathon, or losing himself at the piano. A long-standing supporter of education for young people, he has taught music to students for over 15 years and held several Director of Music roles during his time at Oxford.
