Title: Investment Director

I focus on new investment opportunities, so spend a lot of time meeting businesses ranging from those that have little knowledge of private equity through to those that have appointed advisers and already know that they want investment.  My job is to understand what they need and demonstrate - using our vast range of real examples - that ISIS can support them to grow their business.

I graduated from Cambridge before training as an accountant at PwC and then worked in corporate finance for 8 years advising a range companies from FTSE100s to SME businesses.  This experience made me realise my real passion was in working with and supporting fast growing, entrepreneurial companies.

I love getting right into the heart of a business and finding out what makes it tick.

About me
Little known fact: I won a gold medal in the English fell running championships team competition. This was almost entirely down to the ability of the other runners in the team but I won’t tell my grandchildren that in years to come.

Most likely to say? 
In layman’s terms (I dislike unnecessary jargon).

Outside of work I... spend time with my young family.  And try to get out for a run or bike ride without them realising - but they always do.

Perfect day:
An old fashioned day at the seaside with the kids where nobody gets sunburnt, drops their ice cream or loses their bucket in the sea.

What makes me get out of bed in the morning?
Meeting businesses that are doing something a little bit different in a market where you can see it is giving them an edge over their competition.
