London, 2018 - Present

Over the last few years, I helped develop a nascent Start-Up consultancy, helped launch a new Start-up focussed Co-working space & accelerator, and have written and produced a podcast series on Burnout for a new mental wellness app. In addition, I have worked as a commercial copywriter.

At Triple Point I progressed to the point I took overall responsibility for sourcing, negotiating and closing multimillion-pound Venture Capital and Debt investments. In my role as an Investment Manager, and initially as an Analyst, I;

​

• Managed or contributed to over a dozen successful deals, worth a total of c.£100m.

​

• Utilised my outstanding communication skills to negotiate commercial and legal agreements, often under tight deadlines. Legal, financial and commercial challenges were routine, and working with others to find creative solutions to problems was one of the highlights of this role.

​

• Created and pitched new investment and business ideas, in addition to receiving and evaluating pitches from others, as our team moved into new markets and industries.

​

• Built dynamic financial models from scratch in Excel, using them to forecast and to inform commercial positions during negotiations. 

​

• Worked with the management teams of real businesses to help them achieve their growth goals. We were able to help the UK's 5th largest tomato grower become the biggest in the country.

Taking Glenigan’s proprietary data on the UK construction industry, I analysed the market, forecast trends and produced informative content for our customers and the press. In this role I;

​​

• Wrote press releases and articles for national and trade press – my work was featured in The Financial Times, The Guardian and The Telegraph, amongst others.

​

• Was responsible for all economic content on our website – every month I would write (metaphorical) reams of new, insightful and attention-grabbing analysis for our clients.

​

• Produced industry-leading long term economic analysis based on my own statistical, data-driven forecasts, which I presented to an expert committee at the Government’s Department for Business, Innovation & Skills.
