Max Jackson

Investment Manager

I sit in the Commercial Team at ECI, and there are two main aspects to my role – assessing potential new deals for ECI and then supporting the management teams we back to deliver on their growth ambitions.

I lead the data and AI agenda across our portfolio and I have worked on a number of investments since joining ECI, including MThree, CIPHR, Commify, CMap and IGG.

Before joining I studied Engineering at Oxford University and spent four years in consulting across strategy, operations, and commercial due diligence in both the UK and Australia.

01 HAVE YOU EVER HAD 15 MINUTES OF FAME?

“When we were ten, my twin brother and I cooked six underwhelming courses across two episodes of a children’s cooking show with Helen Lederer.”

02 WHAT HOBBY HAVE YOU INVESTED THE MOST TIME IN?

“Overall, it would have to be rugby, although I have long since I hung up my boots!”

03 WHAT IS THE BEST MEAL YOU HAVE EVER EATEN?

“Every Easter my very Italian Nonna cooks the same meal – pasta and meatballs, followed by roast lamb – and it is the meal I look forward to most each year.”
