We’re delighted to welcome Ben Kirrage to the ECI investment team, the second hire into the team in as many months, having welcomed Georgia Ling in September.

Ben joins as an Investment Manager from FNZ, a global wealth management platform, where he was Chief of Staff for the European business and a member of the Strategy and Corporate Development team. Prior to FNZ, Ben worked in the M&A advisory teams at Keefe, Bruyette & Woods and Raymond James, where he focused on transactions involving software, data, and services businesses across the financial services ecosystem.

Ben will focus on sourcing and executing investments into high-growth, resilient businesses across ECI’s core subsectors. He will also work closely with management teams across the ECI portfolio to support their strategic and operational development.

Ben brings with him a great deal of experience in M&A and long-term business planning, which will be extremely useful to support growth strategies for ECI and our portfolio. His knowledge of PE markets in Europe and the US will also be extremely beneficial. This appointment comes on the back of welcoming Georgia Ling to the investment team, and we look forward to working with both Ben and Georgia on our future pipeline of deals.
