I am a former Army Officer and startup founder, now focused on making great deals happen.
What I offer
Capital Introductions
I start by understanding your business inside out, then identify the investors who'll truly get what you're building.
Together we'll craft your investment story and connect you directly with the right people from our 50-year network across PE, VC, and family offices.
Confidential Investor Research
Planning something sensitive like an MBO or acquisition?
I'll discretely test investor appetite while maintaining complete anonymity. This gives you clear insights without tipping your hand.
Acquisition Search and Targeting
When you're ready to grow through acquisition, I'll conduct a methodical search using premium research tools, focusing on your specific sector and EBITDA requirements.
I can handle all initial approaches and negotiations professionally and confidentially.
Executive Search
Finding the right NED or C-suite executive can transform a business.
I can source proven leaders who bring both the expertise and cultural fit you need to succeed.
Let's talk
I am based in central London, and always happy to meet over coffee or a pint.
Or join me on my dog’s daily walk for an informal discussion about your business vision and opportunities.
Experiences
Startup founder
I have founded or co-founded 3 separate startups.
I have pivoted twice, exited once, and placed one into receivership!
My startup experiences allow me to offer advice and support to other founders on their journey.
Angel Investor
I invest my own capital in select startups, which gives me a unique perspective when sourcing funding for clients.
I evaluate every opportunity with the same scrutiny I apply to my personal investments - if I wouldn't invest my own money, I won't recommend it to others.
Military Officer
I am a former Grenadier Guards officer. I combined ceremonial duties at the heart of State events with active service in Afghanistan.
The Army instilled essential leadership qualities and showed me the power of both leading and being part of a impactful and high-performing team.
