I split my time between assessing new deals for ECI and supporting our portfolio companies in driving their value creation agenda as a member of ECI’s Commercial Team.

I have spent my career focused on growth, both working within a “real business”, and in consulting – and I bring that experience to bear at ECI. I have a tech background, and have been fortunate enough to play a part in the story of ECI investments such as Auction Technology Group, Arkessa, CPOMS, Bionic, 4Ways, Peoplesafe, and Mobysoft.

Internally, I am a member of the ESG Committee and am also responsible for bringing together our tech and data experience and advisory relationships.

Duncan reflects on how the value of your tech stack delivers excellent returns
01 WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST EVER JOB?

“My first ever job was picking garlic in Marlborough, New Zealand where I grew up. It was great fun spending the day with your family and friends filling up buckets with garlic while earning some pocket money… although the smell seeped into your pores and took days to get rid of!”

02 WHAT DO YOU LIKE THE MOST ABOUT WORKING AT ECI?

“The thing that I find truly great about working at ECI is getting the opportunity to work with and help the amazing teams behind the businesses we back. Not only is the success of each business fascinating to understand, but the teams that drive that outcome – and keep pushing for more – are one of the coolest things about this job.”

03 WHAT HOBBY HAVE YOU INVESTED THE MOST TIME IN?

“I have definitely invested the most time in surfing as a hobby. I took a gap year on my way to the UK where I surfed all around South and Central America, and have been on holiday to most places on the Atlantic within a short flight of London, from Ireland to Morocco and everything in between.”
