Ben Kirrage joins ECI as an Investment Manager from FNZ, a global wealth management platform, where he was Chief of Staff for the European business and a member of the Strategy and Corporate Development team. Prior to FNZ, Ben worked in the M&A advisory teams at Keefe, Bruyette & Woods and Raymond James, where he focused on transactions involving software, data, and services businesses across the financial services ecosystem.
Ben will focus on sourcing and executing investments into high-growth, resilient businesses across ECI’s core subsectors. He will also work closely with management teams across the ECI portfolio to support their strategic and operational development.
Georgia Ling joins ECI as Investment Analyst where she will be supporting the team in identifying and converting deals across the ECI pipeline. After graduating from University College London, Georgia started her financial career at Rothschild & Co as an M&A Analyst with a tech focus, gaining experience in the IoT, Office of the CFO and vertical software sectors.
Chris Watt, Managing Partner at ECI, comments: “Ben brings with him a great deal of experience in M&A and long-term business planning, which will be extremely useful to support growth strategies for ECI and our portfolio. His knowledge of PE markets in Europe and the US will also be extremely beneficial. Georgia is another great addition to our team and represents the next generation of talented professionals for ECI. We look forward to working with both Ben and Georgia on our future pipeline of deals.”
