BCG Digital Ventures (BCGDV), a corporate venturing and incubation subsidiary of US-headquartered consulting firm Boston Consulting Group, has hired Nathalie Gaveau as a UK-based managing director and partner.
Gaveau has an entrepreneurial background, having founded fashion media and consumer platform Shopcade and co-founded online second-hand goods marketplace PriceMinister, the latter of which was acquired by e-commerce firm Rakuten for $230m in 2010.
BCGDV partners startups and provides mentoring on digital strategies, helping them build and scale their businesses. It also incubates digital technology developers, and its UK-based portfolio includes household utilities management platform WonderBill.
Regarding her new role, Gaveau told City AM: “I am incredibly proud to be joining BCGDV at a time when there is unprecedented opportunity in the corporate innovation space.
“Joining one of the world’s most experienced business builders on the heels of them launching more than a hundred new hyper-growth businesses into the market is an extremely exciting opportunity.”
