Ann Berry, founder and managing partner of Threadneedle, discusses how she provides capital and operating support to high-growth technology companies. In interviews led by Barry Ritholtz for The Big Picture and by Bloomberg’s Markets programme, Berry describes her transition from roles spanning Goldman Sachs M&A and private equity to running a hospitality services company during the pandemic, before focusing again on investing.
Across the coverage, the interviews emphasise Threadneedle’s approach and Berry’s investment themes. Sources say her early-stage bets include areas such as AI and deepfake detection, and the programmes touch on how the IPO landscape is expanding. Bloomberg’s Markets pieces also centre on learning and adopting AI, framing the discussion around practical importance rather than only the investment side, while The Big Picture foregrounds Berry’s focus on providing strategic guidance and capital to tech firms and investment platforms.
