Tom spends his time meeting and investing into fast growing, early stage private companies, and then working with the founders to help grow their businesses and achieve their ambitions.

I love the process of getting to know entrepreneurs, seeing their passion and drive for their products – and having the opportunity to be part of their growth journey.

After graduating with a degree in Biology, he joined KPMG, working across a number of departments with a focus on private equity transactions and completing his Chartered Accountancy qualification. He then moved to Livingbridge VC in 2015, who were then acquired by Gresham House in 2018.

When not in the office, Tom spends his time with his young family and, when time allows, sailing or skiing.

James joined Gresham House Ventures as Investment Manager in December 2019, before being promoted to Associate Director in 2022.

He is primarily focused on making new investments into fast growing software businesses focused on process automation, data and analytics or cyber security. He led GHV’s investment into Fu3e and also sits on the board of SecureCloud+.

I enjoy identifying and working with management teams who are solving large existing problems in a pragmatic way, balancing strategic vision alongside day-to-day execution.

Prior to joining GHV, he spent five years at PwC, latterly working in the financial due diligence team. He is a Chartered Accountant (ICAEW) and holds an MA in Economics and Accounting.

Outside of work James enjoys most sports, in particular golf, football and rugby.
