Fabian Critchlow
Investment Manager
I joined Sovereign as an Investment Manager in 2024, attracted by the firm’s Buy & Build strategy and its commitment to supporting businesses in achieving long-term growth.
I concentrate on Financial Services and Healthcare, and my role encompasses both deal execution and portfolio management.
This hands-on involvement throughout the investment lifecycle allows me to work closely with our portfolio companies, forging strong relationships with their management teams to drive sustainable growth that extends beyond Sovereign's ownership.
Before joining Sovereign, I worked at Next Wave Partners, a lower mid-market private equity firm, where I was involved in several transactions, including transformational bolt-ons and a platform deal, with a focus on tech-enabled business services.
Prior to that, I qualified as a Chartered Accountant at BDO, after beginning my career in the Army with the Queen’s Royal Hussars. I hold a BA in Classics from King’s College London.
Outside of work, I’m an enthusiastic amateur sportsman, enjoying tennis, squash, golf, as well as being an avid swimmer and sailor.
