David Whileman

David joined Inflexion in 2013 as a Partner and is a member of the Executive and Investment Committee. David leads Inflexion’s specialist £1 billion Partnership Capital Fund II investing £10 - £300m for minority stakes.

David oversaw our investments in Granite Underwriting, Huws Gray, CloserStill Media, Radius Payment Solutions, Medivet, Lane Clark & Peacock and Mobica.

Previously, David worked at 3i for 16 years where most latterly he was Head of UK Private Equity. He was a founder partner of the €1.2bn Global Growth Capital fund and specialised in numerous successful minority investments into entrepreneurially led businesses including Foster + Partners, Hyperion and Hayley Conference Centres. Before 3i, David worked in Corporate Turnaround and Insolvency for PwC where he qualified as a Chartered Accountant.

Sadly, despite David’s avid support, the prospect of Nottingham Forest returning to the Premiership still looks bleak.
