About Belinda Sartori
- Founder & CEOÂ
- Head of Futures: Charterhouse
- Former Investment Banker
- Best Careers Programme Award
I’ve worked with over 1,200 students, from top UK schools to international families, guiding them through some of the most important academic and career decisions they make.
Before moving into education, I spent over a decade in investment banking, most recently at Goldman Sachs. I now lead the Futures programme at Charterhouse, one of the UK’s top independent schools.Â
I’ve helped students secure places at the best possible universities that fit their academic profile, interests and professional goals, and land internships and graduate roles at firms like Rothschilds, Slaughter & May and Marsh McLennan.
Parents often assume these decisions are straightforward, but in reality, they’re high-stakes, time-sensitive, and often more complex than they first appear.Â

Why Launchpad
What students need most is guidance, structure, and a clear, realistic plan.
Most schools don’t have the time or resources to provide a long-term strategic plan.
We cover everything from early school decisions to their first professional role, ensuring they make informed choices at each stage.
We help students avoid costly mistakes and make better decisions, shaping not just their academic and career paths, but also their confidence, friendships, and future success
Who We Work With
Some families come to us for help with a specific application or deadline. Others want long-term guidance: support with school decisions, university strategy, summer planning, mentoring, or career preparation. Whatever the starting point, we tailor the support to each student.
