Advisory Panel

Advantage Capital has assembled a small group of senior business people who are well known to Advantage to form our advisory panel. Where they have first hand sector knowledge these individuals are able to provide commercial input when we are considering new investments. It is an invaluable resource. The panel currently comprises:

Kelvin MacKenzie

Former editor of The Sun Newspaper and subsequently CEO of The Wireless Group, a radio group comprising talkSPORT and 17 regional radio stations, backed by Rupert Murdoch and John Malone. The Wireless Group was quoted on the London Stock Exchange, prior to its acquisition by UTV Media plc in 2005.

David Smith

Former CEO of Taylor and Francis plc and Chairman of Informa plc, a provider of information for professional, commercial and academic communities, both LSE quoted stocks.

Derek Zissman

Formerly Vice Chairman of KPMG and co-founding partner of its private equity groups in London and New York.
