CHRIS CLEGG
FOUNDER
OBELISK 16
Profile
Chris qualified as a Chartered Accountant at Arthur Andersen in 2000 specialising in corporate restructurings before moving to Ernst & Young in 2002.
In 2005 he spent a year at the Royal Bank of Scotland on secondment to their Structured Finance Division in Leeds, UK. At the latter stages of this secondment his inspirational boss at Ernst & Young persuaded him to take a big career risk and join him in forming a start up private equity firm called Endless in 2006.
Chris took the lead roles of marketing, HR, recruitment and leading investment in the North East of England for this new venture. Subsequently Endless became the leading restructuring fund in the UK. In 2012 Chris then embarked on creating a pioneering sister private equity fund named Enact focussing on SMEs funded by High Net Worth Individuals under the Enterprise Investment Scheme.
Chris steered Enact from concept to a stand out investment fund over an unprecedented 3 year period. To this day Enact remains the highest performing fund in Endless history.
In the latter stages of 2015 Chris took the decision to go it alone and pursue new ventures in the form of Obelisk 16 Ltd and Pyramidion Ltd.
Chris has grown OBELISK 16 into a niche strategic partner for private equity, family offices and corporate clients and would be the primary contact for your relationship with Obelisk 16.
He also currently serves as Chairman on three PE portfolio boards in the UK, a governor of a primary school in the UK, as well as acting as the UK Head of the hugely successful Pan European Investment House Nimbus.
Oh and by the way, in 2010, he was crowned Yorkshire Champion singer and entertainer in the business charity Y Factor awards in aid of Mencap .
