Ellen's Story
Originally attracted by the opportunity to be responsible for deal sourcing in the core Apax sectors, these days Ellen enjoys working with Apax deal teams and portfolio companies on their societal impact. This is particularly stimulating for Ellen because the range of sustainability projects is very varied and changes year on year. She has “millennial” daughters and many of the topics she is involved in at work (climate change, gender equality, etc) often lead to lively discussions at home.
