Living our values

I had long envisioned a career in healthcare, ultimately earning acceptance to the medical program I’d worked toward for years. During the global pandemic, I took an unexpected opportunity to rethink my path, leading me to Apax and the once daunting world of private equity. I embrace every chance to learn, ask questions, and take on new challenges. With the support of colleagues, family, and friends, I continue to learn, adapt, and grow.
