She was a Managing Director at Lendlease, Grainger, Pradera and Sunrise Senior Living and a founding partner of MCP (now M3CP). In this time, she has closed circa £17 bn of transactions, raising and investing capital around the world. She also has 12 years’ prior experience in private equity, investment banking, fixed income and corporate lending; she also has a track record as a business angel investor in the proptech sector. Her operating experience has focused on the living sector including affordable housing, PRS, senior living and student housing.
