Guy Gillon, Managing Partner of Tenzing commented: “We have known and admired Ian for many years and we feel phenomenally privileged that we will be working with him. Ian’s leadership and investment track records speak for themselves but it’s his people skills and high energy engagement that makes working with him inspiring and fun for the team”.

Ian Armitage, Non-Executive Director of Tenzing, commented: “Ever since meeting the team at Tenzing, I have found their energy and ambition infectious. I share their vision of building the next-generation private equity firm and I like their grounded nature, sense of urgency and fear of complacency. I’m delighted to join and support the team on their exciting journey.”
