Building relationships
With a strong technical background, I thrive on diving deep into the intricacies of a product alongside founders. I’m inspired by their passion and enthusiasm for solutions, and I seek out founders with the drive and vision to scale their businesses successfully.
Background
Growing up I always liked computers but based on my logic at the time of thinking Computer Science was too specific, I went to Loughborough University and studied Information Management with Business. As part of this I spent a year with E.on Energy writing SQL and learning what having a real job was like.
After graduating I spent a couple of years in business change consulting at Capgemini, before spending the rest of the first phase of my career in and around data engineering, initially building data pipelines and data warehouses at a (pre-SaaS) software start-up and latterly in a consulting capacity leading the technical delivery of various pipeline/warehouse builds at companies like Dixons Carphone and Sky.
In 2018, I made the jump across to venture and joined Mercia, investing initially with a focus on B2B software. Since joining the fund, I have been involved with 14 companies, supporting their growth.
At Mercia, I am focused primarily on investments in software and AI investments across both B2B and healthcare at the series A stage.
