Chairman - Non Executive Director @ Tristan Ramus recently sold Human Capital Investment Group (HCIG) to Graphite Capital Partners. HCIG’s value increased sevenfold from 2007 to 2014 and it was widely considered to be the most attractive recruitment asset in the UK during the sale process. To replicate the success of HCIG, Tristan created The Investr Group in 2013. This evolved in the background while I focused on HCIG's exit and has been supported in partnership with the Invest|r board. The sale of HCIG has not only validated this dynamic business model, but it has also provided the funding and bandwidth to allow me to continue to invest.
