- Owning the investment case, from first screening to the memo presented to the Investment Committee
- Driving value creation at portfolio companies, including board participation, buy-and-build, professionalisation, and preparation for exit
- Supervising and developing the investment team, and safeguarding the quality of analyses and deal materials
- Contributing to fund development, including LP contact, investor materials, and further building the platform
