Rupesh joined in January 2021 and looks after our portfolio companies, who he actively supports to accelerate growth and build shareholder value.

He has a track record of investing in entrepreneurial businesses and expertise in value creation through bolt-on acquisitions, product expansion and recruiting senior management teams.

I’m privileged to be working every day with dynamic founders and management teams to unlock the full potential of their business.

Prior to Gresham House, Rupesh worked at Praesidian Capital, a transatlantic private equity and debt fund focused on lower-mid market businesses, where he was responsible for minority growth and buy-out investments. Before this he led M&A and private equity transactions at Grant Thornton, spearheading transactions ranging from £5mn to £100mn in value.

Rupesh qualified as a Chartered Accountant (ICAEW) with Deloitte and holds a BSc (Hons) in Physics.

Outside of work Rupesh enjoys travelling off the beaten track, exploring new eateries and spending time with his family.
