We’re delighted to announce four new additions to the ECI team as we continue to deploy our £1bn fund, ECI 12.
Chris Mockford joins as Investor Relations Director. Chris was most recently an IR Director at Zetland Capital, a pan-European special situations fund, and has over 10 years’ experience in fundraising and investor relations roles, the bulk of which was spent in Evercore’s Private Funds Group. His experience at Evercore included providing fund-raising advice for financial sponsors across private equity, private debt, infrastructure and real assets. Chris will support the team and our Limited Partners with co-investment, fundraising, and secondary activities across the portfolio.
Also starting this month, Ludvig Hamilton joins as Investment Associate. Ludvig brings extensive experience of northern European investments, particularly in the technology sector, having spent several years in Sweden where his roles included Investment Banking Associate in the Global Technology Group of Houlihan Lokey and Senior Analyst in the M&A team at Deloitte Corporate Finance. Ludvig will focus on engaging with management teams, evaluating and executing new deals, and supporting ECI’s portfolio companies.
The Origination Team at ECI has been boosted by two new appointments.
Christy Welsh joins as Origination Manager from Deloitte. After training as a Chartered Accountant in Transaction Services, Christy spent three years leading Deloitte’s TMT M&A origination efforts. Christy will develop market theses, meet with market participants and assess opportunities, with a particular focus on the HealthTech and Data subsectors. Christy’s completion of the Oxford AI Programme will also be beneficial as we continue to hone and implement ECI’s proprietary AI tool, Amplifind, in the deal origination process.
Sam Veevers has joined ECI’s Origination Team as an Analyst, bringing experience from Houlihan Lokey where he worked as a Deal Origination Analyst. Sam will concentrate on identifying and prioritising potential investments and M&A opportunities for ECI and its portfolio companies.
