LDC, the leading private equity investor, has promoted seven people across its investment, origination and fund finance teams, recognising their exceptional performance and contribution to the growth of the leading private equity investor’s portfolio.   

The promotions include Dan Gluckman and Tom Jervis to Investment Director, Sally Tam and Eliza Morton to Investment Manager, Hannah Hutchinson to Origination Manager, Maeve O’Toole to Senior Fund Controller and Ronalyn Mabunga to Fund Controller.

In London, Dan Gluckman and Tom Jervis have both been promoted to Investment Director.

He has also supported several successful partnership journeys from original investment to exit, including digital marketing agency Croud, and assistive technology software provider Texthelp.

Tom has been with LDC for six years and has played a leading role on a number of transactions, most recently originating and leading LDC’s investment into property and construction consultancy Frankham Group. He has also supported the firm’s investments in cloud service provider Creative ITC, and the investment and exit from business critical connectivity provider Wifinity.
