Liv leads Client Services at Tenzing, responsible for managing our existing investors and the Firm’s fundraising. She also oversees ESG, having designed Tenzing’s Firm and portfolio strategy around the B Corp framework.
Liv joined Tenzing in the early stages of the Tenzing I investment period. Working closely with Guy, she has seen the firm through the subsequent two successful flagship fundraises:
- Tenzing II in 2020, the world’s first fully-virtual buyout fundraise, which reached its £400m hard-cap within nine weeks.
- Tenzing III in 2024, which is more than double the size of its predecessor at £900m and closed at its hard cap, with excess demand.
Over the last 13 years, Liv has developed a combined financial and communications skillset, through experience in the investment banking, strategic communications and private equity industries.
After gaining an English Literature degree at Durham, she started her career as an M&A analyst at Citigroup, in both the TMT and UK teams. She then moved to Finsbury, the global strategic communications firm, to focus on Investor Relations advisory for UK and European listed businesses.
Liv also gained her CFA charter after three years of study in 2019.
Tenzing immediately stood out to Liv because of its vibrancy, entrepreneurialism and its ambitious, inspiring people.
