Appointment of Head of Private Growth Capital
WH Ireland (AIM: WHI) is pleased to announce the appointment of
Lisa Fox, as Head of Private Growth Capital. Lisa will join the
Company with effect from 4 January 2022.
Lisa joins WH Ireland from Dabbl Global, the fintech app for
retail investors, where she was Global Head of Sales; this followed
over 25 years of investment banking and securities experience in
London, Hong Kong and Tokyo, building client franchises and
developing network and brand partnerships.
Between 2015-21 she worked for Haitong International, the
investment bank and one of China's largest brokers, in both Hong
Kong and London, latterly as the London office Chief Executive
Officer. Lisa started her career at JP Morgan Securities in 1996,
joining Japaninvest (Ji) in 2004; having IPOed in 2006, Ji was
acquired in 2015 by Haitong. During this time she held senior sales
and managerial roles in both London and Hong Kong, significantly
building the client bases and franchises of the respective
firms.
Lisa is also the co-founder of Hakuba Advisory, an accelerator
in build/exit strategies for female founders, and a Governor of
Emanuel School; she graduated from the University of Exeter.
Lisa will lead WH Ireland's existing private growth capital
team, which has recently completed a number of transactions, and
operates in a wide variety of sectors. The team's distribution has
been reinforced by the relaunch of the WH Ireland Investor Forum in
September 2021, a platform which enables our high net worth clients
to participate in both our private (and public) offerings.
Commenting on today's announcement, Phillip Wale, CEO of WH
Ireland, said:
"I am delighted to welcome Lisa to the team. She brings with her
a wealth of experience and expertise building businesses, which
will prove invaluable as we grow our private funding business from
its promising start and execute our significant private deal
pipeline. Her skills of developing distribution networks, and her
entrepreneurial flair and determination, will play a key role in
delivering our aspirations in this exciting market."
Lisa Fox said:
"I am delighted and excited to be joining WH Ireland to lead its
charge in the rapidly evolving private funding markets. In the
third quarter alone, UK companies raised over GBP6.5bn in over 500
different transactions, and WH Ireland has a strong private capital
institutional distribution capability alongside broad and
increasing high net worth distribution to take advantage of this
activity. This combination of market dynamics and capability give
us the opportunity to build a leading private funding
business."
