• Focused on celebrating major company milestones and highlighting the strength of the European startup ecosystem, frequently congratulating teams on acquisitions and public offerings like Adyen and Criteo being prime examples of successful European entrepreneurship.
• Interested in the intersection of data, technology, and creativity, particularly how startups and large corporations can collaborate, as demonstrated by participating as a judge for the Cannes Lions awards to review innovative ideas and speaking publicly about innovation within the retail sector.
• A strong supporter of consumer retail portfolio companies and their growth journeys, sharing multiple updates tracking the progress of the Cambridge Satchel Company from the founding story of Julie and her mother to the opening of their Covent Garden flagship store.
• Dedicated to sharing venture capital expertise and discussing future tech trends at global industry events, evidenced by giving a talk on European venture capital at Stanford University and participating in future trend discussions at the Tech Pioneer dinner in Davos.
