Revolut and Wayve investor Balderton has appointed veteran tech executive Phillip Chambers as its latest partner.
Chambers, who has spent more than 20 years working across the tech and investment sectors, will focus on early-stage investments at the London-based venture capital group.
He has held a number of prominent tech roles, including as the chief executive of Scottish space launch company Orbex, which he was appointed to run in 2024.
“I’m absolutely delighted to be joining the Balderton team: an incredible group of people, working with the most impressive companies in Europe, and a fund at the top of its game,” said Chambers.
Before joining Orbex, Chambers served as the chief executive of Balderton portfolio company Peakton, which was later acquired for $700m by Workday.
“I have had the pleasure of knowing Phil for almost a decade now, first working with him as a board member of Peakon, where I saw him grow the company from virtually nothing to a $700m acquisition by Workday,” said Bernard Liautaud, managing partner at Balderton.
“We then stayed close during his tenure at Workday, and his Orbex years. I could not be more excited to welcome Phil to the Balderton partnership.”
