Congratulations to Daniel Bailey and Rich Pearce who are promoted to Partner, and to Jin Ni Ooi for her promotion to Investment Manager following a milestone year for ECI.

Managing Partner, David Ewing, commented “It’s fantastic to kick off the new year with three very well-deserved promotions, following a great end to 2023 with the announcement of the final close on our new fund, ECI 12. We’re in a great place, starting the year with lots of available capital to deploy over the next three years, and a relatively small portfolio, so all of the ECI team are looking forward to a productive year working with exceptional management teams and helping them to unlock their growth potential”
