Downing Adds Michael Tefula to Ventures Team

UK investment manager, Downing LLP, has appointed Michael Tefula, previously at Oxford Seed Fund and Deloitte, to its specialist Ventures investment team. Downing Ventures invests venture capital into early-stage technology businesses in the UK, prior to supporting these companies through phases of subsequent growth.
