Born in Wales, London has been my second home for nearly a decade.
Prior to joining White Star, I was a Principal at Novator, where I invested in venture and growth-stage startups across the UK and Europe.
During my time there, I was part of over 20 transactions involving emerging companies from Series A to pre-IPO, including Monzo and Nord Security, as well as several successful M&A deals.
Prior to that, I spent four years in Investment Banking at J.P. Morgan in London, covering European Industrials.
The most rewarding part of investing to me is seeing a company grow. Being there across a company’s development journey – and a partner in the transition from start-up to scale-up – is what excites me.
I graduated from the University of Oxford, where I studied Physics & Philosophy. Outside of work, I’m an aspiring (if mediocre) golfer, as well as a fan of Chelsea.
