Following a strong 12 months for the ECI team, we are pleased to announce two promotions as we enter 2026. These are:  

Ludvig Hamilton is promoted to Investment Manager. Having joined ECI in 2024, Ludvig has already made a significant impact, supporting on the investment in Croud and the successful exit of CSL into a continuation fund in October 2025, generating a 3.5x return. Ludvig has also helped build ECI’s presence in the Nordics market.

Sam Veevers is promoted to Associate within the Origination team. Having also joined in 2024, Sam has played a key role in further developing and leveraging ECI’s proprietary AI-powered platform, Amplifind™, to enhance the firm’s deal origination capabilities. His work has helped ECI source, prioritise and assess leads more effectively, strengthening our ability to identify the best investment opportunities. He has also supported with the launch of Amplifind™360, leveraging the same technology to help our management teams with their own strategic M&A pipeline.  

Sam Veevers, ECI Origination Analyst

“It’s a great start to the New Year with these well-deserved promotions. Both Ludvig and Sam have made important contributions to the growth of ECI, and we’re looking forward to an exciting year ahead. Congratulations to them both.”
