The investment team
Rupert Novis
Investment Director
Prior to Simplyhealth, I was the investment director for 7 years at Kinled, a single family investment business investing in the Medical sector (Medical devices, MedTech & life sciences), technology (including FinTech) and high-end leisure at venture capital stage. I helped grow Kinled’s portfolio to 50+ companies around the globe and held a number of board seats.
In my early years I served in the British Army, before spending 18 years in the City, banking and financial markets with Societe Generale, Enron, RBS and Sempra Energy. Since 2009 and before joining Kinled, I worked with Tiberius Asset Management, a Swiss based commodity hedge fund. I then set up and ran businesses working with family offices on both financial and human capital across the globe.
I am a strong believer in Simplyhealth’s purpose to provide better access to all to the wider UK healthcare market, digitally where possible. Currently, I hold board observer seats with several of our portfolio companies.
When away from work, I am a keen sportsman. My other passions are travelling and international culture.
Jack Cox
Associate Director
I have been working with aspirational and high growth UK companies for over a decade having previously held roles in Corporate Finance at BDO, working with a wide range of businesses from start-ups to multi-national groups across a variety of sectors.
At Simplyhealth, I look after the end to end venture process between opportunity origination through to post investment performance monitoring & investment assistance.
We’re in a really unique position as a purpose led business, investing in the industry we have deeply significant insight in and I’m really excited to play a part in changing the UK healthcare economy for the better
