‘Private Capital: A view from the top’ with Nigel Morris, Co-Founder of QED Investors

We are delighted to welcome LBS alumnus Nigel Morris, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of QED Investors, a fin-tech venture capital firm, to speak exclusively to London Business School. Nigel Morris will be in a fireside chat with Professor Luisa Alemany, Academic Director of Institute of Entrepreneurship and Private Capital at LBS.

QED Investors is a fintech venture capital platform focused on disruptive, high-growth financial services companies. QED has made numerous unicorn investments, including Credit Karma, NuBank, Avant, SoFi, Klarna, GreenSky, and AvidXchange.

Nigel is the Chairman of ClearScore and Mission Lane and serves on the boards of Remitly, AvidXchange, QuintoAndar, Bitso, and Amount. Additionally, he serves on the board of Ideas42, and Scotia’s Digital Advisory Council, and he works in an advisory capacity with General Atlantic and Oliver Wyman. Nigel previously worked on the boards of Capital One, The Economist, Brookings, National Geographic, Klarna, Braintree, TransUnion, and London Business School. He frequently keynotes at industry-leading conferences, including Money2020, LendIt, Finance Disrupted, and the Bernstein Annual Financials Summit.

Prior to QED, Nigel co-founded Capital One Financial Services in 1994. Under Nigel’s leadership as President and Chief Operating Officer, Capital One pioneered an information-based strategy that transformed the consumer lending industry.

Although Nigel grew up mostly in England, he takes immense pride in the fact that he is at least half Welsh. He has an MBA with distinction from London Business School, where he is also a Fellow. Nigel was recognized as a Top 100 Venture Capitalist by CB Insights in 2019. He is an avid cyclist, but he is happiest when he is at home in Virginia with his wife, four children, and three grandchildren.
