It is with great pleasure we announce that Gavin Holland has joined Erevena. Gavin has played an instrumental role in the evolution of the FinTech sector as both an Executive Recruiter, and in various roles at Anthemis.
Gavin started his career in executive recruiting, spending more than a decade at Heidrick & Struggles in London and New York focused on FinTech, latterly running the EMEA financial services business. He joined Anthemis in its infancy, initially building the Talent platform, followed by creating the Portfolio Success and Ecosystem Development teams. For the second half of his Anthemis tenure, latterly as President, he oversaw all Fundraising & Investor Relations & Business Development and helped build the firm to become more than a billion-dollar asset manager.
CEO, Dan Hyde commented: “We are delighted to welcome Gavin as part of the team. Gavin will further enhance our expertise in the Financial Services Sector, a sector he has played a pivotal role in over the last 20 years. He will also play a key role in helping us develop a more systematic approach to investing capital into our Clients. Having known Gavin for a long time we couldn’t be more excited to have him as part of the team.”
Gavin commented: “Having been an Advisor to Erevena for the past decade I have witnessed the unparalleled depth and breadth of their network across the start-up ecosystem. By delivering excellence in executive recruiting for investor-backed companies, they have built deeply trusted relationships with GP’s, Founders, Boards, Executives, and Advisors of the world’s best start-ups. I am excited to join to help leverage this platform to build complementary new businesses, particularly within investments, whilst also being additive to its core service line.
Gavin will join Erevena as a Partner, in their London office, and will remain involved as an Independent Non-Executive Director at Anthemis Group.”
