Balderton Capital has promoted Danny Bloom to head of legal as Andrew Wigfall vacates the position to become executive in residence.
Bloom, formerly senior legal counsel, will lead Balderton’s legal team, advising on the firm’s investments and exits, and working closely with the portfolio on legal matters.
Wigfall now occupies a newly created position designed to support Balderton’s EIR programme, which launched last year with the appointment of software executive and advisor Dave Kellogg.
Kellogg’s role includes advising Balderton’s portfolio CEOs and founders on areas including SaaS metrics, strategy, marketing and US expansion.
“I’m looking forward to continuing to support Balderton’s growing portfolio in my new role as EIR, and I am delighted to see Danny take over leadership of the team which we have built together over the past four years,” said Wigfall.
“He is uniquely positioned to understand the role and is the best choice for it. I wish him every success and hope that he will find it as satisfying, rewarding and enjoyable as I have done.”
Former ASOS & Twitter comms lead Rachel Bremer recently joined the VC as chief marketing and communications officer.
