While DN Capital has been involved with Partnerize (originally Performance Horizon Group) from almost inception on 2010, I took over the board role in 2015 and have been involved with many of the major strategic decisions over the last 10 years, including the acquisition of PepperJam, leadership transition, adapting to Covid, etc.

I look after most of our US portfolio, help our European companies come to the US, and bring US ideas to our European team to consider for new investments there. I also co-lead our AI software practice and lead our investment thesis around financial inclusion. Prior successes include Auto1, Remitly, Endeca, Brigit, Robin Systems, Yottaa, FuturePlay, Lagan, Datanomic. Current portfolio includes, amongst others, Sanas, Aibidia, Mext, Himala, ShipHawk, Partnerize, RecargaPay and Ombud. On my successful exits, our LPs have realized pre-carry profits of over $500,000,000.
