Baird Capital has elevated Louise Kingston to partner level.

Kingston joined Baird Capital in London as a director in January 2022. She is part of the global portfolio operations team focused on working with Baird’s investment and management teams to design and deliver growth strategies that maximise value creation.

Kingston leads Baird Capital’s internal data projects, which involve synergising reporting processes and managing data. She is directly involved with portfolio companies Aura, ecube and JMAN, as well as the recent exit of CAV Systems.

“I think if more people understood what we do and the breadth of roles in and around PE, then it would be much more appealing to a broader range of people,” Kingston told PE Hub Europe in 2023 as part of our Women in PE series.

Previously, she spent eight years at mid-market private equity firm Livingbridge, where she was an investment director.

Chicago, Illinois-based Baird Capital is an investment firm that makes venture capital, growth equity and private equity investments.
