Foresight promotes Banks to fund finance director

Foresight Group has promoted Lynsey Banks to the position of fund finance director. She reports directly to James Livingston, Foresight’s partner and co-head of private equity.

In her new role, Banks manages a fund finance team which sits within Foresight’s private equity division. The team’s work includes preparing management and annual statutory accounts for each fund, alongside supporting portfolio company valuations.
