Living our values

"I have always had an insatiable curiosity about the world – my early childhood ambitions ranged from marine biologist to classicist to astronomer. Whilst I eventually settled on the slightly more mundane ‘investment professional’, I am grateful to have experienced a contrast of professions and sectors, including a stint in medicine, and I enjoy the challenge of continuing to learn every day at Apax. For this reason, “We learn, adapt and grow” is the value that resonates the most."
