Ellie Craig
Ellie is responsible for identifying investment opportunities and acting as the key point of contact for prospective and portfolio businesses. Post-investment, Ellie builds strong, trust-based relationships with founders and offers hands-on support to drive growth, looping in Fiona and FIGR’s advisors when they can help.
Before joining FIGR, Ellie spent almost four years sourcing and supporting small consumer businesses across home, garden, fashion, beauty, food, drinks and more, as Hearst UK’s Growth Manager for Small Business Partnerships. Ellie developed relationships with independent businesses, from artisans to rapidly-scaling SMEs, advising them on growth opportunities across events, e-commerce and marketing. Ellie began her career in the hospitality industry, selling and coordinating at Shangri-La and The Savoy.
Outside of work, you’ll find Ellie reading, shopping for secondhand fashion and getting as much sunshine as possible!
