They are passionate about building innovative, high-growth technology companies – for 15 years they have been backing entrepreneurs with global ambition, and partnering with them to provide capital and support as they grow.
He splits his time between meeting entrepreneurs, leading investment deals and supporting their superstar teams. They've made over 60 investments since he joined MMC in 2011 and they're actively adding new companies to the portfolio, normally at or around the Series A stage. Personally he leans towards B2B software and tech-enabled services, fintech, digital media and ad tech.
He sits on the Board at Sky-Futures (drone platform for oil and gas), Masabi (mobile ticketing for transit), Brightpearl (ecommerce SaaS platform), Admedo (programmatic advertising) and MUBI (awesome cinema, online), and represent MMC with several of their other portfolio companies.
