I sit in the finance team at ECI and work with management teams to help monitor our portfolio. I also handle tax matters across the ECI Group, Funds and portfolio companies with the support of our tax advisers. My role occasionally pivots towards our fundraising efforts and I have worked with our investor relations team on both the ECI 10 and ECI 11 fundraises.

Prior to joining ECI in 2012, I interned at US FOF manager Hamilton Lane and at a UK private equity placement agent. I hold a degree in Government and Economics from the London School of Economics and am a Chartered Accountant (ICAEW) and Chartered Tax Adviser (CIOT).

01 WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST EVER JOB?

“I volunteered as a Police Officer during university. I was frequently based out of Charing Cross Police Station, a stone’s throw away from ECI’s offices, and don’t miss experiencing the dark underbelly of Covent Garden!”

02 WHAT HOBBY HAVE YOU INVESTED THE MOST TIME IN?

“I have played the saxophone since I was almost the size of it.”

03 HAVE YOU EVER HAD 15 MINUTES OF FAME?

“No international A-Lister fame, but I was once typecast as the clueless village policeman in a local panto.”
