After qualifying as an accountant with PwC and providing due diligence and 100 day planning to PE houses, I spent 13 years with two private equity houses: LDC, where I built the value enhancement team before becoming COO, and then Inflexion, where I developed their portfolio reporting and value creation approaches.
I now Chair portfolio companies on behalf of investors and I am co-founder of Arahi, a platform designed for PE investors and their portfolio companies to refine their value creation plans and then track and report progress against them.
I support PepTalks in their CEO community and in delivering the Excellence Programme, working with cohorts of PE backed leaders to rapidly upskill their understanding of how value is created and realised within a typical PE deal cycle.
