some other adam norris discoveries from money marketing:
He left Hargreaves Lansdown in 2008 after being brought in almost 10 years prior to set up their pension arm before shifting to heading the firm's advisory service. When he quit he was one of the youngest managing directors in the industry. Quote: "He is leaving to spend more time with his family and to pursue other interests. He is not expected to return to financial services." Interestingly, 2008 was Lando's first karting race (he got 35th).
Then, in 2013, he returned to financial services. It was quite dramatic; MoneyMarketing had multiple pages of their September 2013 magazine dedicated to his return. Quote: "One of Hargreaves Lansdown鈥檚 biggest shareholders has amassed a 拢100m war chest to invest in retail financial services firms across the protection, at-retirement and alternative investment markets." Investments would be made via his venture capital firm, Horatio Investments, and he expected to invest up to 拢20m by the end of the year. He clarified that he wasn't looking to compete with Hargreaves Lansdown. His return to investing in financial services came after investing "in a juice company and a software firm which now works with Virgin," about which he said: "The thing I have realised with all those businesses is I do not know any of them as well as I know this sector. I will be calling up friends and contacts to see who they would be investing in."
