Rishi Kotecha is Head of EMEA Client Business at Drawbridge, where he leads the strategic direction and commercial growth of the firm’s European business. He works closely with alternative investment managers to strengthen fund and portfolio-level cybersecurity programmes. Typically this involves helping firms demonstrate strong governance to investors, meet evolving regulatory expectations, and to address growing scrutiny as cyber risk increasingly influences valuations and deal outcomes.

With more than 15 years’ experience in fintech, Rishi is an experienced operator in both scaling teams and enhancing client experience through innovative solutions. He brings deep subject matter expertise in the alternative investment industry, with a particular focus on private markets.

Prior to joining Drawbridge, Rishi held a number of senior leadership roles across the investment technology ecosystem, including Head of the GP Segment at BlackRock Solutions, Head of Commercial Strategy for Private Equity at IHS Markit, Head of Pevara (the LP benchmarking and analytics platform) at eFront, and Senior Performance Analyst within J.P. Morgan’s Private Equity Fund Services group.
