Olivia Bullen
Legal Counsel
Olivia is a member of the Europe Ventures team and joined from Withers LLP

WHAT MOTIVATES YOU?

Working in partnership with our portfolio companies, particularly those in the field of new technology and health, through the growth phase and to see them be successful.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT YOUR JOB?

That I am constantly learning and improving the skills and industry knowledge I need to advise our investment team.  This is thanks to the variety of my work, which spans multiple sectors and geographies, combined with the creativity and brilliance of the people I work with - in both our investment and portfolio teams.

WHAT’S BEEN THE STEEPEST LEARNING CURVE ON YOUR CAREER JOURNEY SO FAR?

Moving from private practice to inhouse legal counsel at Eight Roads was a moment of real progression in my career.  It meant a transition from offering purely legal advice, to being part of the journey itself, which requires an appetite for risk-taking that has been exciting.
