Gavin Holland brings an unusual combination of deep executive search experience in financial services and venture capital platform building, having spent over a decade at Heidrick & Struggles before joining Anthemis specifically to build their talent platform rather than as a traditional deal partner. After helping scale Anthemis into a billion-dollar asset manager as President, he has now joined Erevena as a Partner to build a complementary investment business on top of their executive search platform, creating a systematic way to invest alongside the founders and boards he supports.
What they've been talking about across their social media accounts

- Deeply committed to Type 1 Diabetes advocacy driven by his son William's diagnosis. He actively raises funds through significant physical challenges, such as climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, and serves in leadership roles for organizations like JDRF UK to support the search for a cure.
- A massive football fan who frequently posts about West Ham United and Cambridge United. He often combines this passion with family time or charity work, such as attending matches with his sons, going to see the Lionesses, or supporting the Diabetes Football Community.
- Championing social impact in education, specifically through support for Rekindle School. He has shared multiple updates about visiting the school and praising its leadership, indicating a strong interest in initiatives that provide opportunities for young people.
