Sam has advised funds such as HgCapital, TCV, Oaktree, Advent, Bain Capital and General Atlantic. Between 2012 and 2018, Sam worked alongside John on all of the deals that he executed at TCV. This included NewVoiceMedia where she also worked closely with Guy Sochovsky as CFO, particularly on the sale of NVM to Vonage. Sam loves doing deals and negotiating ‘win-win’ outcomes. However, Sam believes that to do that effectively, it is really important to understand the detail of the business you are investing in and to build strong relationships with team that you are investing alongside. Sam is also passionate about mentoring and is actively involved in both formal and informal mentoring programmes. Sam started her career at Lovells, where she trained and worked for five years. Sam attended Oxford University where she received a BA Jurisprudence.​
