Ben Marrel

Ben began his career in corporate fintech, working on large cross-border mergers and acquisition deals for Macquarie Bank in London and Sydney. This inspired him to found his own boutique M&A advisory firm, specialising in raising capital for startups in the digital, cleantech and sports sectors. From there he went onto to launch Fifty-four, the first financial rating platform for SME’s in Africa, and then Rugby Division, a disruptive rugbywear brand. His passion for entrepreneurship then led him to co found Breega where he heads up a fund dedicated to finding and financing tomorrow’s leading fintechs and insurtechs.
