Emily Bourne

Prior to joining Puma, I worked at Praetura Ventures, working on deal origination primarily in the North West, and supporting transactions across various sectors including fintech, transport and retail. During my studies, I was fortunate live in Paris for a year, where I interned in financial PR and at the VC house, Partech.

I have a First Class French & Linguistics degree from the University of Oxford.

I am passionate about building long-term relationships with people, and understanding what motivates them. The privilege of getting to know business’ management teams is my favourite part of this job.

Outside work, I enjoy cooking and trying new food spots in Manchester & London. I also love practising my French by going on trips to France and the French-speaking world. I swim to keep fit and am currently testing out London’s inner-city outdoor pools.
