Tom spends his time meeting and investing into fast growing, early stage private companies, and then working with the founders to help grow their businesses and achieve their ambitions.

I love the process of getting to know entrepreneurs, seeing their passion and drive for their products – and having the opportunity to be part of their growth journey.

After graduating with a degree in Biology, he joined KPMG, working across a number of departments with a focus on private equity transactions and completing his Chartered Accountancy qualification. He then moved to Livingbridge VC in 2015, who were then acquired by Gresham House in 2018.

When not in the office, Tom spends his time with his young family and, when time allows, sailing or skiing.

I enjoy working with our investees to get the best out of their business, from DD right through to a potential IPO.

Outside of work, James can be found on the golf course or doing up his flat in South London.
