Focus

David leads Hg’s Mercury funds and focuses on healthcare technology investments – backing the secular growth of software for business-critical functions across both the provider, payor and life science sectors.

Experience

David joined Hg as part of the founding Mercury team in 2012 before becoming partner in 2017. He has led several investments across the Mercury fund as well as starting the healthcare technology cluster with the first investment in Allocate in 2014. David joined Hg from Apax Partners.

Opportunities for the future

"I relish the opportunity to work with successful founders and entrepreneurs who are navigating big challenges. I get great satisfaction seeing the huge support we’re able to offer these teams and helping them build amazing software businesses bringing about incredible change. Also, I have always found healthcare an inspiring industry and have invested in this sector for over 20 years. The global healthcare sector remains under-digitalised and we’re seeing first-hand, through the businesses we’re backing, how software is bringing about significant positive change. Our investment philosophy is to always be part of the solution, backing great healthcare software businesses that positively support the sector."
