Lyceum Capital, the growth investor, has expanded its investment team with the appointment of Thomas Keen (pictured) as an investment executive.
Keen joins Lyceum from CIL Management Consultants during which time he worked on over 30 commercial due diligence projects for many different UK mid-market private equity houses.
At Lyceum, Keen will work with the investment team to originate, support and execute new platform investments and add-on acquisitions for existing portfolio companies. His appointment is the third in 2015 following new operations and development partner Geoff Neville and investment executive Alistair Gray.
Simon Hitchcock, partner at Lyceum, says: “Our appointment of Tom shows our continuing commitment to growing our deal-making capacity further and helps us work with our portfolio companies to target growth through add-on acquisitions.
“Thomas’s experience in advising private equity firms in commercial due diligence around a variety of sectors at CIL will strengthen our ability to execute deals in a competitive and fast-moving market.”
Keen says: “Lyceum has a great track record working with businesses to implement clear and effective growth strategies and I am looking forward to bringing my commercial experience to such a dynamic team.”
