Michael Butler
Partner
As a Partner within the Investment Team, I spend my time meeting with ambitious management teams, understanding their aspirations and how a partnership with ECI can help them achieve those. I then work with the companies we back as a board member, helping to develop and deliver their growth strategy.
Prior to ECI, I worked in M&A, starting my career in Deloitte’s corporate finance team before moving to Canaccord Genuity where I advised high-growth companies on a range of transactions, both in London and in Toronto.
I graduated with a degree in Physics, but that now feels like it happened a long time ago in a galaxy, far, far away.
Away from work, I like to travel and enjoy most sports. I can often be found traveling home and abroad in search of Welsh sporting nirvana, with limited success to date!
“I recently restarted my running career and am currently training for a half marathon. Almost exactly 10 years after my first, I’m keen to prove I’ve developed as an athlete over that time.”
“Meeting with and working alongside interesting businesses and inspirational management teams. It’s a real privilege to have the opportunity to help shape a small chapter in a business’ history.”
“Coron, a really beautiful island in the Philippines. It was my first diving holiday and I was quite literally out of my depth. Numerous moments where it felt like this could be my last holiday, so definitely the most memorable destination.”
