Anthony joins Ariadne

Lionel Anthony has joined Ariadne Capital’s board. Anthony’s venture capital pedigree extends back to 1976 at the Coal Board Pension Funds’ in-house venture capital facility that went on, with Anthony’s assistance, to became independent and ultimately, long after his departure, became known as Cinven (in 1997.) In 1983 he founded Causeway Capital, which raised nine funds and approximately GBP500 million, before being sold to ABN AMRO in 1996.
