“With people at the core of all good strategies, it is a privilege to see our management teams succeed throughout the full investment lifecycle.”

As part of the Value Strategy Group, my role is to partner with management teams across the Livingbridge portfolio, supporting them to achieve ambitious growth plans and ultimately build best in class business. With people at the core of all good strategies, it is a privilege to see our management teams succeed throughout the full investment lifecycle.

I graduated from the University of Manchester with a degree in Mathematics and started my career at PKF Littlejohn, latterly in the Transaction Services division providing a range of financial advisory services for buyside M&A transactions and companies listing on the various European markets. After 5 years and having qualified as a Chartered Certified Accountant, I entered the world of Private Equity at Downing Ventures where I was lucky enough to spend my time working across a broad portfolio of early-stage enterprise, consumer and deep technology business.

Outside of work, you will most likely find me either teaching or practising Hatha yoga. Otherwise, I’ll be soaking up the London theatre and comedy scene.
