About Thomas Fanjul

I’m a Mechanical Engineering and Economics student at the University of Pennsylvania, driven by the intersection of problem-solving, innovation, and real-world impact. Right now, I’m actively pursuing opportunities in consulting — drawn to the challenge of complex problem solving and the opportunity to work directly with clients to create tangible change. But in the long run, my goal goes deeper: I want to help build things — systems, tools, or companies — that truly improve people’s lives. My background blends technical experience (from mechanical design to systems troubleshooting) with leadership roles in student organizations and community outreach. Whether I’m designing a pedal-powered smoothie blender or presenting product research to a startup CEO, I’ve found that I thrive when I can combine analytical thinking with people-centered collaboration. I’m always eager to connect with others who value creativity, purpose, and impact — whether through consulting, innovation, or entrepreneurship.
