Duncan Cameron

Duncan is Catapult’s CFO and directly manages a number of portfolio companies, as well as serving on Catapult's Investment Committees. He has over 30 years’ experience within the private equity industry since joining NatWest’s venture capital business in 1989. Duncan has experience of making, managing and realising investments across industry sectors including automotive design, transportation, professional services, software, renewable energy and telecoms.

Following a period spent leading a research and origination team within NatWest’s London office, Duncan relocated to Nottingham in 1996 to help launch a NatWest fund focussed on small / mid-market transactions where he had responsibility for investment across the Midlands.  Following a decision in 2002 by NatWest to focus on larger transactions, Duncan spent a number of years working as a non-executive director and consultant, mainly supporting institutionally backed companies. This period also included work with The Salvation Army on a sustainable income generation fund which saw Duncan involved in evaluating projects in a number of countries including Latvia, Bangladesh and Paraguay.   

Duncan’s first involvement with Catapult came in early 2007 when he was asked to chair the investment committee of the new Catapult Growth Fund.  Later that year he took on an executive role with the business, managing a number of investments and also fulfilling the FD and Deputy MD roles.

Duncan is a Chartered Accountant (ICAS) and holds a B.A. in Business and Administration from Strathclyde University.
