Prabhat Sakya

A former scientist (working at a consumer goods giant, and also at Britain's leading healthcare charity), I now work as a project manager, but my hobby is dabbling in shares, and writing about my investing successes and failures as a Motley Fool freelancer. My favourite topics include contrarian investing, growth shares, company strategy and the realities of everyday investing.
