 European venture capital firm Amadeus Capital Partners has appointed Alastair Breward as chief operating officer. Alastair will assume responsibility for finance, human resources, information technology and information services.
Breward began his career working in IT with Arthur Andersen's consulting division before joining specialist technology company Talman Pty in Sydney, Australia.
He took a diploma in law at Sydney University and returned to the UK in 1992 to work for Bird & Bird, a specialist IT and IP law firm. He then gained three years' commercial experience as general counsel for Virtuality Group before joining Taylor Wessing, where he became a partner in 2002, advising mainly venture capital funds and fast-growing technology companies on both sides of the Atlantic.
Amadeus' CEO Anne Glover said, 'We have known Alastair for many years and I am delighted that he is joining the Amadeus team. His breadth of experience will prove valuable to us at a time of new opportunities both for Amadeus and for European venture investing.'
Breward added, 'This is an exciting time to be involved in European technology venturing. I've worked with Amadeus as external advisor for many years and seen it build an enviable brand and a first class team. The firm's continued success as it grows depends greatly on effective internal systems and operational management, two areas in which I look forward to deploying my experience.'
Amadeus invests venture capital in new technologies from offices in London and Cambridge, UK.
Earlier this year Roy Merritt joined Amadeus as a director to focus on telecommunications and business services investments and, generally, at the later-stage end of the firm's investment spectrum.
