Oliver Feldman
Former London Senior Editor
Oliver was born and raised in London, but at the young age of 23, he packed his bags, his hopes, and his dreams and left for Paris. Here he acquired a rickety old bicycle, a cat, a few words of French, and a foolishly small kitchen. He also developed the skill of eating 90% of his meals in restaurants. Returning to his home city over a decade later, he took the role of editor of The Infatuation London where he dedicated four years to sharing this hard-learned skillset with a team of talented writers. He left the company in 2022 to complete the final stages of a five-year MSc programme, and to focus on his work as a psychotherapist.
