In our latest episode of Beyond the Capital we spoke to Keven Parker, Joint Managing Partner at NorthEdge.

Due to his Dad’s successful business career, Keven spent his early years living abroad with his family in parts of Africa and Germany before he came back to the UK to attend Salford University.

Fresh out of university Keven joined KPMG before moving to the private equity firm 3i, where he spent twelve years working around the world in parts of the UK, Spain and Portugal. He then took the opportunity to move to Yorkshire to work with the Shepherd family, where he spent seven years before joining NorthEdge in 2018, initially as Head of Portfolio, before moving into the role of Joint Managing Partner in 2022.

In this episode of Beyond the Capital, Keven explains how respect and integrity have been the values that have guided his career, why he is passionate about making a positive contribution to NorthEdge and the portfolio, and how a career in private equity gives people a unique exposure to a range of ambitious individuals and a seat at the table from very early in your career.
