Q&A
Spending time with my wife and two boys – preferably accompanied by some good food and wine (for the grown-ups!).
I’d love to own a small, relaxed cafe/restaurant, with a constantly changing menu – though I doubt it would be a great investment…
The firm’s entrepreneurial culture and deep sector expertise, combined with the fact that Apis invests in businesses that enhance people’s lives globally.
Being part of the growth journey at LendInvest, a VC-backed, technology-driven lender has given me a strong insight into the sector in which Apis invests. I have also had the pleasure of working with a diverse range of investors over the years, which I look forward to continuing to build on at Apis.
