MMC Ventures promotes two to partner

MMC Ventures, a London-based venture capital fund, has promoted Simon Menashy and Ameerul Miah to partner.

Miah also becomes chief operating officer (COO).
 
MMC has also added to its executive team with Victoria Ferguson becoming general counsel and Anna Slemmings stepping up to the role of director of marketing and investor relations.
 
Menashy has led a number of new investments over the past two years including the firm’s most recent investment into AI business Signal Media. He also serves on the board of MMC portfolio companies Sky-Futures, Masabi, Admedo, Brightpearl and MUBI. He joined MMC in 2011 from Deloitte, where he consulted on commercial strategy and M&A advisory for European tech and media companies.
 
Miah joined MMC in 2014 from investment manager Ashmore Group. In his new role as partner and COO, Miah will be responsible for MMC’s daily operations and its Fund operations.
 
Cameron Grant has been made an associate and will work with Slemmings on marketing and investor relations.
 
MMC managing partner Jon Coker says: "At MMC we are building a company that individuals can join and grow within. No glass ceilings, no fund cycles and no silo’d knowledge or networks. We strongly believe in rewarding people who challenge us, work incredibly hard and have a strong growth mindset. The promotions that we have made recognise a group of people who embody that attitude and have been fundamental to the growth of MMC. I am especially delighted for Simon and Ameer to be joining Bruce, Alan and me as partners at MMC and excited to see them take an active role in the development and further growth of MMC."
 
Menashy says: “I am delighted to have been invited to join the partnership and to be taking a lead role at MMC. Over the past five years I have had the opportunity to work on over 65 investments with 30 companies. Our ambition is to deploy another GBP100 million in the coming years to build and scale some of Europe’s most promising digital businesses. My focus for 2017 will continue to be seeking out and backing the strongest entrepreneurial talent in the B2B technology space.”
