I am responsible for ECI’s investors across our current buyout funds, and prospective institutional investors for the future. I enjoy building these long-term relationships and being able to demonstrate how we have supported the growth in ECI’s portfolio and showcase some of the exceptional entrepreneurs we have partnered with.
Over the past 16 years I have led the past four ECI buyout fundraisings, and including several co-investments, I have raised a total value of over £2.9 billion of commitments.
I am part of the BVCA’s Performance Measurement Survey Review Board and Investor Relations Advisory Group having previously Chaired the BVCA’s Responsible Investment Advisory Group. I am passionate about ESG and ensuring it is at the forefront of the private equity industry. I spend a lot of time thinking about how we can promote initiatives both internally at ECI and in the wider market.

“I am one of those MAMIL’s who gets excited about bikes and cycling up hills. In recent years it would have to be cycling on the South Downs and Ashdown Forest (or further afield when possible).”
