How funds identify and assess Chief Marketing Officers

Over the past 2 years, we’ve hosted over 500 CMOs across multiple events, with the continuous theme of helping great marketing leaders continue to develop and progress their careers.

Many members of that ecosystem have worked for VC or PE backed businesses – and so it’s our pleasure to bring together 3 senior talent leaders from funds, to share deep insight and advice.

• Avalon-Lee Bacon, Talent Director at Dawn Capital – portfolio includes Collibra, Quantexa, Dataiku, Cover Genius, Quantexa, Gelato
• Shannon Harrington, Portfolio Network and Talent Advisor at Balderton Capital – portfolio includes Aircall, Beauty Pie, Contentful, DELLI, Dream Games, GoCardless, Lendable, Matillion, Merama, Photoroom, Revolut, Tibber, Wayve, Writer and ZOE
• Hannah Dray, Talent Manager at Livingbridge – portfolio includes Exclaimer, Loveholidays, World of Books, Venatus, Nourish and CitNOW

We'll be exploring a range of topics, including:

• How a talent function in a fund operates
• How VC and PE talent partners find and assess talent
• How to make yourself visible across the investor ecosystem
• Future trends – and how to get ahead of your competition
• Investor mindset for VC vs PE vs PLC – and its impact on talent selection and assessment
