Andrew Lees
Director/Board Member at Character World Ltd.
Profile
Presently, Andrew John Lees holds the position of Partner at Palatine Private Equity LLP.
Mr. Lees is also on the board of 8 other companies.
In the past Mr. Lees held the position of Principal at Aberdeen Murray Johnstone Private Equity Ltd., Principal at Barclays Corp.
and Regional Director at Barclays Ventures.
I enjoy sourcing new deals and helping management teams and owners achieve their individual and business goals.
I excel in helping to position a business for its ultimate exit, using my experience in different roles to help management maximise value through operational improvement and strategic development.
I have over 25 years of corporate finance experience with 15 years in private equity and a further 10 years in banking and M&A with Barclays and EY.
Outside of work I love any sport – football, golf, cricket, running, cycling (though there’s a bit more watching than participating nowadays!)
