effective teams across the UK, EMEA, and the US. As a Partner at Zensho, my focus is on executive search within the Alternative Investments space. I work closely with Private Equity and Venture Capital funds—ranging from boutique managers to large-scale global firms—to identify the right leadership for their investment teams and portfolio companies. My background is rooted in the broader financial services landscape, having spent years executing mandates across: PE & VC: Strengthening investment committees and C-suite leadership for ventures at various stages of growth and buyout firms. Quantitative Strategies: Partnering with systematic funds to find researchers and traders who thrive in data-driven environments. Investment Banking: Supporting banks in building out M&A and specialized sector coverage teams. Through Founder.Careers, I take a more “hands-on” approach to the venture ecosystem. We focus on ‘Founder Leverage’—helping early-stage founders move away from daily operational friction by building better systems and placing ‘Founder Associates’ who can execute on the ground. It’s a way for me to stay close to the realities of scaling a business, which in turn informs how I advise my search clients. I’m fortunate to work across diverse markets, from established financial hubs like London and New York to emerging tech scenes across Europe. My goal is to be a thoughtful, discreet partner to the people building the next generation of companies, regardless of their current scale.
