Danny Bloom has been appointed Balderton’s new Head of Legal, with Andrew Wigfall taking up a new role as Executive In Residence (EIR).
In his new role, Danny will lead Balderton’s legal team, advising on the firm’s investments and exits, and working closely with the portfolio on legal matters throughout their journey from term sheet through to exit.
Andrew is moving from his previous role as Balderton’s Head of Legal, into a newly created EIR position. Balderton’s EIR programme launched last year with the appointment of renowned software executive and advisor Dave Kellogg, whose role includes advising Balderton’s portfolio CEOs and founders on areas including SaaS metrics, strategy, marketing and US expansion.
Andrew will work closely with Balderton companies on legal matters from advice on strategic legal projects and outreach to General Counsels, to sharing his expertise and experience to support the successful expansion of our portfolio companies.
I’m looking forward to continuing to support Balderton’s growing portfolio in my new role as EIR, and I am delighted to see Danny take over leadership of the team which we have built together over the past four years. He is uniquely positioned to understand the role and is the best choice for it. I wish him every success and hope that he will find it as satisfying, rewarding and enjoyable as I have done.
