Living our values

As a young aspiring cricketer, I learned early the value of working as a team to be successful.  The Apax value that resonates with me the most is “we succeed as one global team” by working together to achieve our desired outcomes.  During my career, I have been fortunate to have worked in different sectors requiring me to be adaptable and open to change whilst working with inspiring, dedicated and diligent professionals, gaining valuable knowledge and experience. The Apax value of ‘we learn, adapt and grow’ aligns with my journey and the various career choices I have made.
