I am a Partner in our Investment Team. My job is to lead investments into growth businesses and subsequently work with them throughout our investment. It means I get to meet with exciting businesses and inspirational teams pretty much every day, which is a real privilege.

Having joined ECI in 2014 after spending my earlier career advising tech and services businesses at PwC, I have since worked with a number of our software investments, having led investments into Mobysoft, CMap and Ciphr, and previously worked with CPOMS. I have also worked with Bionic, Imagesound and Great Rail Journeys. In addition, I am the Chair of ECI’s ESG Committee. I studied Economics and Politics at the University of York and hold an ACA.

01 WHAT'S THE BEST PLACE YOU'VE EVER VISITED?

“Goodison Park for a night match!”

02 WHAT HOBBY HAVE YOU INVESTED THE MOST TIME IN?

“Music, both playing and watching. I like to unwind by playing piano or guitar most evenings. In my younger days I was in various largely unsuccessful bands. I’m sure evidence still exists on the internet somewhere if you know where to look…”

03 ARE THERE ANY CAUSES YOU SUPPORT OUTSIDE OF WORK?

“I support charities tackling homelessness in Liverpool – The Whitechapel Centre is a brilliant charity.”
