Jasmine’s Private Equity Qualifications
Experience level: Vice President
I am currently a senior Investor at a Private Equity fund in London and have spent 10 years in the Finance industry (Accounting / Audit at the Big 4, Investment Banking and Private Equity) after graduating from the London School of Economics. Formally, I have two professional qualifications: the BVCA Foundational Private Equity course and the ACA (first time passes) with Deloitte. Within Private Equity, I have extensive experience across deal sourcing, execution and portfolio management. I also have experience in coaching you for interviews, test preparation and general career advice. Topics I can cover are as follows: - Championing investment opportunities internally - Financial and returns modelling - Conducting due diligence - Negotiating terms and structuring a deal - Internal reporting on portfolio company performance - Building your network for success - Origination / deal sourcing strategies - Career development / growth - Interview techniques – soft skills and hard skills - Technical test preparation for Investment Banking / Private Equity I am really excited to continue coaching people who are looking to enter or excel in this industry. Its such an interesting role but at the same time can be super competitive and opaque, and I am here to make it a bit easier for you to navigate. On top of this I love meeting new people and building connections, so my coaching style is very empathetic and I will naturally be curious to touch base on your progress.

About Jasmine
I’m a strategy and finance leader at a high-growth global SaaS company and a former growth equity investor. I started my career in growth equity investing, where I worked closely with management teams to evaluate businesses and think about strategy, growth and value creation. It was the best career move I ever made! I loved meeting CEOs & founders, understanding how they went from zero to scale and feeding my curious brain. After 10 years on the outside, I decided it was time to roll my sleeves up and build. I now work in strategy and finance leadership at a global SaaS company with over €200m in revenue, partnering with Product, Revenue and Engineering teams on commercial strategy, pricing and product expansion. Through my work I’ve seen how competitive recruiting processes can be, and how often strong candidates struggle not because they lack ability, but because they haven’t yet learned how to position their experience clearly. As a minority in my field in so many ways, I know best that anything is possible if you know how to position yourself and tell your story! My coaching focuses on helping candidates structure their career story, communicate their thinking effectively, and navigate interviews with confidence — particularly for private equity, growth equity and strategy roles in high-growth technology companies.
Why do I coach?
Growing up as a shy person, I saw first-hand how the right coach, mentor or piece of guidance can transform someone’s confidence and trajectory. The confident, curious and network-driven person I am today is largely thanks to the people who took the time to guide me along the way. That experience shaped how I think about mentoring others. I find it incredibly rewarding to help people unlock that same confidence and clarity in their own careers. I genuinely believe that most people already have the ability to achieve what they want — they just need the right structure, perspective and encouragement to bring it out. I most often work with consultants, bankers and finance professionals transitioning into private equity or strategy roles in high-growth technology companies.
