I chair and advise PE-backed enterprise software and IT services companies through growth, transformation, and exit — working alongside investment managers to strengthen governance, accelerate value creation, and prepare management teams for the next stage. Current mandates: Board Chair at xSuite Group (3i Group) and SkySparc (Bregal Milestone), Independent NED at Bank of America Europe, Supervisory Board Member at Harvest Groupe (TA Associates / Montagu), Advisory Board member at Actico (Keensight Capital), and Board Observer at Modirum Platforms. Five successful exits delivering 3x–5x investor returns, including Magnitude Software (U.S.), BSI (Bregal), Actico (Keensight Capital) and Epasssi (TA Associates / Warburg Pincus). I have supported 100+ software and IT services targets through commercial, product, GTM, technology, and management DD assessment — a pattern-recognition base most board chairs don’t have. Beyond PE, I bring active financial services board experience: Independent NED and Audit/Risk Committee member at Bank of America Europe, and former board and advisory roles at Royal London, Nationwide Building Society, Amundi, and AD Ports Group. This gives me direct insight into how regulated financial institutions buy, govern, and deploy enterprise technology — a material advantage when advising FinTech, RegTech & Office of the CFO portfolio companies. My operating background spans Group CIO at UBS and Global CIO at SAP, with further executive roles at Allianz, Deutsche Bank and IBM. I have lived and worked 7+ years in the U.S., scaled a U.S. software company, and actively support European portfolio companies on U.S. market entry, governance, and buyer access. At board level I focus on four areas where PE software & service companies need the most challenge: AI adoption and technology strategy, commercial and product positioning, M&A and management team effectiveness. I publish a weekly newsletter on AI and FinTech reaching 55,000+ subscribers, with a broader network of 130,000+ across financial services and technology — giving portfolio companies market access, ecosystem connectivity, and talent reach. … more Top skills Board Chair • Private Equity • Value Creation • Enterprise Software • Strategy
