Tom’s Private Equity Qualifications

Experience level: Senior Associate

I was part of the founding team of Apax Global Impact, a ~$1bn tech-focused private equity fund within Apax Partners. I joined before the fund’s launch, playing a key role in building its operational infrastructure and investment strategy from the ground up. Over my time there, I focused primarily on sourcing, evaluating, and executing investments in high-growth B2B SaaS businesses across Europe and North America. This experience gives me a deep understanding of what it takes to break into private equity - especially at the intersection of tech and impact - and to excel once you're in. I coach clients on navigating the recruiting process, developing an investor’s mindset, and excelling on the job. Whether you're targeting your first PE role or seeking to level up as an investor, I bring practical insight and tailored support.
