August Equity has strengthened its investment team with the appointment of Stuart Quin as an Investment Director who will focus primarily on investing across the healthcare sector.
Quin has worked in the private equity industry for seven years, most recently as the lead healthcare investor at 3i in the UK. Prior to this, he was a manager in Accenture’s Health and Life Sciences Strategy consulting practice based in Washington DC. He has a PhD in Immunology from Imperial College, London, an MBA from INSEAD in France/Singapore and a BSc from Edinburgh University.
Philip Rattle, Managing Partner, says: “We are delighted with the appointment of Stuart to the investment team. We have been talking to him for a while as August Equity has developed its plans for investment in this area. As well as private equity experience, Stuart has an academic and industry background. He fits well within the team and brings with him a great deal of experience and knowledge.”
August Equity recently announced the exit of Lifeways Community Care and the investment in Aspirations Care Group, a community care services provider specialising in supporting individuals with complex and challenging behaviour.
