Our new CFO Shaun Claydon tells Proactive’s Stephen Gunnion that his City background — spanning PwC, investment banking and broking, with a focus on SME fundraising, IPOs and M&A — makes him well placed to help the technology commercialisation group drive value from its portfolio.
Claydon says several of Frontier IP’s 17 or 18 portfolio companies are now “gaining traction” and moving toward potential exit events. His near-term priorities are straightforward: “I’m keen to get under the skin of those portfolio companies,” supporting them through fundraising and scaling as the group works toward successful exits.
