Jo joined us in 2009 and sits on our B2B Software team and the ventures investment committee.
He was previously an investor and entrepreneur in a range of businesses, including stints as an equity analyst at banks NatWest, Merrill Lynch and Lehman Brothers, focusing on mobile operators such as Vodafone.
Jo is a chartered accountant and read natural sciences at Durham University.
Away from work, Jo tries to lower his golf handicap and keep fit through a variety of sports in beautiful Dorset, where he lives with his family.
“To be able to fund and occasionally really help entrepreneurs realise their ambitions makes being a VC not only a real responsibility but also a genuine privilege.”
