Having joined ECI in 2018, I have spent the past few years helping ECI flesh out our proprietary deal origination processes and I am responsible for building ECI’s long-term pipeline. To that end, I developed our AI opportunity sourcing and prioritisation tool, Amplifind™, which is helping to drive a more effective origination model.
The other half of my time is spent supporting our portfolio to develop and execute their M&A strategies, and I have worked closely with Peoplesafe, Mobysoft, Content+Cloud, and Ciphr to help them find and meet exciting new businesses.
Unfortunately, my biology degree from Oxford hasn’t been too helpful in my role, but I do still try to stay in touch with nature when I can!
“The closest I’ve come to fame was when the BBC bought a 3 second video clip of an iceberg from me to use in a program on Anglo-Saxons. They liked how the footage really felt like you were in a boat which probably tells you all you need to know about my videography talent. I still had my name in the credits though!”
“My grandparents moved to the Isles of Scilly when I was 2 years old and I have spent almost every Summer there since. With only 80 people living on their island, the sense of freedom and escape from normal life has meant the place will always be very special to me.”
“A very easy question for me – Lord of the Rings. You don’t get 11 Oscars for one film for no reason!”
