Tech & Telecom
The Apax Technology and Telecommunications team has backed
companies on both sides of the Atlantic from the very first days of
the venture capital industry.
Led by Andrew Sillitoe and Salim Nathoo, the team now focuses
solely on buyouts and larger growth investments, but it still
offers a unique sector-focused capability, with the growth DNA and
industry expertise remaining a core feature of one of the largest
sector teams in the business. This capability has led to a number
of buyout investments having been made 'ahead of the curve', or in
non-obvious areas.
The team come from a variety of backgrounds in industry,
consultancy and banking and each member specialises in different
niche sub-sectors. This pool of industry knowledge can be rapidly
deployed across Apax Partners' global platform according to the
needs of the specific investment.
In the past ten years, the team has advised Apax Funds on more
than €5.2 billion of investments. Past and current investments
include: Orange Switzerland, TDC, Intelsat, Inmarsat, Epicor,
iGate, TIVIT and Paradigm.
