Transcript

My experience in the agency world, in digital agencies, advising clients, helping build their businesses, and building my own teams over about 15 years, really helped me realise that one of my key strengths is indeed leading, shaping, and advising. There's a natural fit with the Operating Partner role. It's not my business, but it is my business to advise them. 

There's mutual opportunity and great alignment between the Operating Partner, the fund, and the entrepreneur and their management team. And I felt that there was a really good reflection and extra build from my career from agency and consulting.
