Prior to joining, she spent nearly a decade in strategy consulting and venture capital across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Yvonne is a founding member of Impact X Capital Partners, a UK-based venture capital fund established in 2019 to support underrepresented entrepreneurs across Europe and achieve social change through wealth creation.

Community is at the heart of what we do. Being based in Somers Town is a reminder that while we work with many companies with global ambitions, we can still have a significant impact within our immediate community.
