"I enjoy working alongside excellent management teams, supporting ambitious growth strategies and seeing the many positive impacts that come from this."

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

I enjoy working alongside excellent management teams, supporting ambitious growth strategies and seeing the many positive impacts that come from this.
 
I have been a member of the Investment Team since 2010 and have invested across a range of sectors. I lead our efforts in the Services sector.
 
Prior to Primary, I gained a masters degree in English at the University of Newcastle, and qualified as a Chartered Accountant at Deloitte.
