Libby primarily supports Hannah Gubbins and the Investor Relations team, working closely with our LPs.

She also supports CFO Alex Goodway, General Counsel Adina Goga, and Director of Talent Avalon Lee-Bacon.

Back in 2015, when I completed my Executive EA Diploma, we were taught Teeline shorthand and tested weekly on our touch-typing speeds. This was seen as critical preparation for the complex minute-taking we were about to be thrown into as we joined our first corporate jobs.

Even then, shorthand was a dying skill. Eleven years on, I rarely pick up a pen! AI takes care of a lot of what used to be the day-to-day. The shift from Teeline to AI probably tells you everything about how much this role has changed.

Dawn was my first role at a VC firm. Before that I worked in various admin roles, including at CIT Group, where I first met Jess, now a colleague here, and Trilitech, the startup blockchain entity behind Tezos. That startup pace gave me an early feel for the kind of companies I now see across Dawn's portfolio.

There's a family feel to Dawn that I didn't quite expect from a finance environment, where the team celebrates the success of professional but also personal milestones - from marathons to weddings and new children!

Outside work, you’ll find me hosting friends, playing padel or at pilates, and spending time with family in the countryside.
