  • Event Management: Strategise, coordinate, and implement a diverse range of events, such as conferences for investors, networking events, showcase events, and panels featuring industry leaders, with the purpose of highlighting the investment fund and the companies in the portfolio.
  • Digital Marketing: Oversee the management of our website, search engine optimisation (SEO), search engine marketing (SEM), email marketing campaigns, and social media platforms to enhance our online presence and drive engagement.
  • Investor Relations: Aid in investor relations initiatives by producing marketing materials, crafting investor updates, and participating in investor meetings.
