Russell Healey - Foresight Group

Foresight Group (“Foresight”), the independent alternative asset manager, announce the promotion of Russell Healey to Partner

May 2009

Russell joined Foresight in October 2007 as a Senior Portfolio Manager and is actively involved in the management of several portfolio companies, holding board observer and investment director positions with a number of companies, including Ixaris and Plum Baby. As Partner, Russell will continue to work closely with a growing number of portfolio companies across several industry sectors, in particular advising management teams on the financial aspects of their operations.

Bernard Fairman, Managing Director of Foresight, commented: “Portfolio company management is more important than ever in the current economic climate as investee companies require additional guidance to navigate their way through the downturn. Russell has made and continues to make a hugely valuable contribution both to Foresight and to our portfolio companies. As the business grows, our ability to build and maintain a strong and dynamic leadership team remains a key priority. Russell’s promotion is a reflection of our commitment not only to recruiting new talent, but recognizing the existing talent we have within the company.”

Russell joined Foresight from Parkmead Group, a merchant bank, where he was involved in a wide range of corporate and principal finance projects. Previously he spent ten years in several technology and marketing management positions, including four years with Thomson Financial.
