Meet the team

As part of the Direct Investments team at Connection Capital my role is focused on finding the next great management team to back as well helping manage our current investments.

After graduating from Bristol with a BSc in Chemistry I decided three years of university was not quite enough and so spent the next three years at Cambridge picking up my second degree, this time in Land Economy. Finally, ready for the real world I initially spent time at a tech start-up before making the leap into Corporate Finance and M&A with Strata Partners. I then transitioned into the public markets working at Panmure Gordon and latterly Liberum Capital where I worked on a wide range of transactions across both public and private markets.

During my time at Liberum I was fortunate enough to have worked with Connection Capital on transactions including the IPO of Virgin Wines and had always been extremely impressed at how the teams operated and the rapport they had with management. What has stood out since joining Connection Capital is our flexible approach which means we can be very accommodating to stakeholder requirements. We also operate a very open book approach so what you see is what you get.

Outside of work, I’m hostage to anything that involves running, kicking, catching, a bat, or a club. Although the days where I can play sport all weekend are long behind me, I can occasionally be spotted on a sports field somewhere.
