I had the pleasure of working with Tim for the last 3 years. When Tim initially joined the company, we would have a Thursday morning VC to discuss portfolios and trade ideas. Throughout that time, we became more friends than colleagues and Tim would always warmly welcome anyone. I first met Suzie and Leo in Singapore when Tim invited me for dinner and drinks which was a gesture I truly appreciated.
Tim will be desperately missed but he left a huge lasting impression on me and the team. He was always a caring, compassionate and supportive leader and I am forever grateful for all the help that he has given me, especially in difficult times. It feels hard to imagine that we won’t be going out for “just a quick one” anymore, where he would fondly share stories of his career, talk so proudly of his family or just mock me for something I have done!
There are so many stories that I look back on fondly; probably the most fun was the Minneapolis trip we took together, which took twice as long as expected. After being somewhat nervous trundling around Chicago airport taxiways for 5 hours in a thunderstorm I was a little worse for wear. Tim never let me forget my meltdown at 4am in the hotel lobby after travelling for 17 hours only to find he had a room there and I did not. Over that trip we got to discuss all manner of work and personal stories and it was great to hear him talk so proudly of his family, his career, travel stories and the fact his hotel was significantly better than mine.
Tim will be hugely missed by everyone, but the values he instilled in our team will continue to live on. I will be forever grateful for all that Tim has done for me and for the opportunity to have worked so closely alongside him. My thoughts and condolences are with his family at this difficult time.
