Having spent the last 18 months as Chairman and Head of Investment, Kieron Launder has now assumed the key role of CEO, with this underlining his intention to continue driving the growth strategy of the business.
Kieron has over 30 years of experience in the financial services sector, working in a number of senior private banking roles, including at Citibank and Lazard.
He was previously Chief Investment Officer at Schroder & Co (the private banking arm of the global investment manager) and, prior to that, he also headed up the strategic investment advisory service at Rothschild private bank, where he advised on long-term investing and specific risk mitigation.
Kieron first joined our advisory board in 2021, where he provided input into new prospective investment opportunities.
After deciding he wanted to become more closely involved with the business, he then took on the roles of Chairman and Head of Investment last summer.
Becky Hodges, our Head of Business Development, says:
“Kieron is an exceptional leader with extensive knowledge of the investment industry, particularly in private banking, so he is the perfect fit to guide the business into its next chapter.”
“Not only does he bring deep industry expertise and assured leadership to his new role as CEO but also a high degree of enthusiasm which has resonated really well with the team.”
“Everyone at Growthdeck is delighted about this new appointment and we all look forward to working even more closely with Kieron going forward.”
Kieron Launder says:
“Since becoming involved in the day-to-day running of the business, I have seen the strength of the team here at Growthdeck. I have found nothing but professionalism, expertise and commitment across all departments.”
“The team’s notable achievements in this time include a record completions day and over 50 completions in total. The company launched its first SEIS deal towards the end of 2023, which was rapidly oversubscribed, and we have seen profitable exits for BMM Energy Solutions and ITPEnergised.”
“As we plan for the future, I’m proud to have such a strong team alongside me. With our growing member base and an exciting pipeline of investment opportunities, I’m looking forward to working closely with everyone to help drive the future of the business.”
