Scottish entrepreneurial tax specialist Kirsty Paton is joining a newly-formed committee aimed at increasing female representation in the UK’s venture capital sector.
Based in the Edinburgh office of Chiene + Tait, Ms Paton is the only Scot and the sole tax adviser on the Enterprise Investment Scheme Association (EISA) Women in Venture Capital working group.
The aim of the London-based committee is to help EISA member firms and the wider UK venture capital industry achieve gender balance at all levels and support the progression of more women into senior roles. The members of the group will meet quarterly, looking at practical actions and initiatives to help firms implement appropriate diversity strategies.
