We are pleased to share that Partner Chris Kay has been named in this year’s Real Deals Future 40 Midmarket Investment Leaders list, produced in association with Finatal.
The Future 40 recognises the private equity professionals shaping the future of the UK and European mid-market. Selected through a rigorous external nomination and judging process, honourees are recognised not just for deal success, but for wider leadership - from portfolio impact to firm culture and industry contribution.
Chris’ inclusion reflects a year of strong performance across the full investment lifecycle. He has played a pivotal role in the deployment of FPE's Fund III and in driving consistent growth across FPE’s portfolio of software, data and services businesses. Alongside his investment work, Chris actively contributes to the private equity ecosystem, speaking at BVCA Accelerate, Real Deals, and Boardwave, and serving as a judge for the BVCA Vision Awards.
His recognition is a testament to FPE’s commitment to developing the next generation of leadership within the lower mid-market private equity sector, focused on delivering value to both our investors and the companies we support.
We would also like to congratulate the other individuals recognised in this year’s Future 40 Midmarket Investment Leaders list. You can view the full list here.
