Aaron Michael Dorsett has been named the Rising Star of the Year at the Black Talent Awards 2025.
A student in the PwC Flying start programme at the Queen Mary University of London, the award recognises individuals under 30 who have shown exceptional growth, impact, and leadership – all demonstrating the potential to be a future leader in their industry.
Aaron said: “Winning Rising Star of the Year is an honour, not just as recognition, but as proof of what’s possible when you move without waiting. Not for permission. Not for age. Not for a title. You can just do things. From building a six-figure business in my teens, to developing a tech prototype for private markets with tier 1 consultants, to now sharpening my capital acumen through PwC’s Flying Start degree, every chapter reflects a long-term ambition to build in the private equity space. The world doesn’t reward perfection.”
