After graduating with an integrated master’s degree in chemistry from the University of St Andrews, Alex completed a graduate scheme in KPMG’s audit practice. He went on to become a manager in KPMG’s M&A advisory team, advising founder-owned and private-equity backed businesses on capital raising, acquisitions and divestments.
Based in our London office, Alex will work alongside the wider team on investment opportunities across the UK.
Commenting on his move to WestBridge, Alex said: “The most rewarding moments in my advisory career came from working closely with founders and management teams. The chance to be part of those partnerships over the longer term, rather than only at the point of a transaction, made private equity, and specifically WestBridge, the natural next step in my career.
“The firm’s entrepreneurial and collaborative culture stood out to me from my very first conversations with the team. That culture shapes how WestBridge works with management teams, backing ambition and working alongside them to deliver. Being part of a team that takes such an engaged, partnership-led approach was exactly what I was looking for.”
