Mid-market private equity firm ECI Partners has increased its HR team with the appointment of Tamsin Webster as its new head of people.
Webster will help develop ECI’s team for future growth and will build on its ongoing diversity, equity and inclusion strategy. She has built and led people and culture teams across a range of industries, including technology and finance.
She joins from Fulcrum Asset Management, where she was chief people officer for three years. During this time, she helped it grow from 65 to 100 people, instigated a new human resources information system and a new leadership programme, and supported the management board to develop an open and collaborative culture.
Webster has held senior HR positions at UBS, BlackRock, Man AHL, which is part of Man Group, and Lloyds Banking Group. More recently, she helped PE and VC backed high-growth technology businesses to build their people functions, develop their culture and leadership capabilities.
Webster said: “ECI Partners has a formidable and successful track record. I have been impressed by the wealth of talent across the business and the leadership team who are focused on raising the bar on their own performance and that of the team as a whole. I am delighted to be joining at this time to drive the people strategy and support our ambitions for further successes.”
David Ewing, managing partner, added: “Tamsin has a really impressive track record with extensive experience working with large corporates, SMEs and private equity firms, so she will be a great asset in helping us develop our people for the next phase of our growth. We’re looking forward to Tamsin helping to drive the continued development of our talented teams in ECI and providing guidance on achieving our strategic business goals through our people.”
