Maven Capital Appoints Sabrina M to Lead MEIF II Debt Finance

• Maven Capital Partners has appointed Sabrina Mahmood to its East Midlands investment team
• Sabrina will be responsible for origination and execution of deals for MEIF II Debt Finance East and South East Midlands

Maven Capital Partners has strengthened its investment team in the East Midlands with a new senior hire.

Investment Manager Sabrina Mahmood will be responsible for origination and execution of deals for MEIF II Debt Finance East and South East Midlands, managed by the Midlands Engine Investment Fund II.

Sabrina will be based at Maven’s Nottingham office and will concentrate on debt investment sourcing for MEIF II and the ever-growing portfolio of companies.

She will also be an integral part of Maven’s Female Founder Funding Programme and will help women-led companies’ access growth capital.

"I am proud to be a part of the MEIF II team and work with local businesses to help them on their growth journey," said Sabrina. "In the finance sector, diversity is a problem that still exists, and the absence of women in the industry is no secret. I am thrilled to be a part of Maven’s efforts to support female entrepreneurs."

Before joining Maven, she worked at Santander for 11 years, and her key responsibilities included new business origination, assisting regional businesses to grow globally, and managing SME client portfolios.

Jonathan Lowe, partner for regional debt funds at Maven, said: "The feedback on MEIF II has been excellent, and we are experiencing high demand. The appointment of Sabrina will enable us to continue to identify and support high-growth potential businesses in the East and South East Midlands. Our strategy of maintaining a strong local presence with a team of experienced professionals is critical to supporting the SME community."
