Daniel Waterhouse has joined Wellington Partners as a fulltime venture partner in London. peHUB had reported last month that Waterhouse was leaving his partnership position with 3i Group, after just 20 months on the job.
In an email to friends and colleagues, Waterhouse said: ” I am now delighted to announce I have joined Wellington Partners… This is a very exciting move and I join a first class pan-European VC.”
Prior to 3i Group, Waterhouse spent six years in the corporate development department of Yahoo. In that role, he focused on both acquisitions and European market expansion. Before that, he was a consultant with PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Most of Waterhouse’s deals with 3i were of the venture capital variety, in the digital media space. They included: BuyVIP (private online shopping community), Fotolog (photo blogging), Garlik.com (online identity management) and Carbonite.com (online PC backup).
