Mid-market private equity firm ECI Partners has expanded its team with two new hires.
Isabella Fox joins as investment manager from BGF’s London deal team, where she was responsible for originating and executing primary and secondary investments.
During this time, she completed investments in Brompton Bicycles, Scrumbles Pet Food and Alpha Development as well as holding several board positions.
Prior to BGF, Fox worked in PwC’s corporate finance team, focusing on mid-market M&A advisory, including a secondment to Amsterdam. In 2018 she advised ECI Partners on its Travel Chapter deal in 2018.
New event manager Chloe James joins from learning and development consultancy MindGym, where – as client delivery project manager – she was responsible for organising and supporting the delivery of global learning programmes for predominantly finance and insurance clients.
Prior to this, James spent four years at Wunderman Thompson Live, delivering immersive event experiences for a variety of brands.
“We are delighted to welcome Isabella and Chloe to our growing team at ECI,” said David Ewing, managing partner.
“The last 12 months have been enormously successful for the business, with seven exits averaging a 4.2x return, and we are excited to add their experience and capability to the team as we continue to work hard to deliver exceptional outcomes for management teams and investors.
“We look forward to the positive impact Isabella and Chloe will bring.”
