Alec Parkinson

"I enjoy building relationships with exceptional founders and managers and supporting them to successfully execute their vision."

I’m a Managing Partner at Primary and a member of our Investment Committee.

I have the great fortune of working with exceptional founders and management teams, from our first point of contact pre-deal all the way through to exit. 
 
I have been a member of the Investment Team since 2007 and lead our efforts in the Technology sector.
 
Prior to Primary, I gained a degree in Economics with French at the University of Nottingham, and qualified as a Chartered Accountant at PwC.
