Venture Capital Investment Manager Deepbridge Capital has appointed Simon Thelwall-Jones to the newly created role of venture partner.
Thelwall-Jones brings a wealth of experience as a qualified Chartered Accountant, an experienced company director and a corporate finance expert; with most recent roles being investment director at MSIF followed by director of Technology Ventures for the Development Bank of Wales. The newly created role will initially be focused on working with a number of Deepbridge’s high-growth portfolio companies, whilst also working on a number of new fund opportunities.
