Special Advisor, Charterhouse Development Capital

Abandoning her first love, Inorganic Chemistry (Research Fellow Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge) in 1985 Dr Nicholls then spent a successful 18 years in Private Equity with Charterhouse Capital Partners, making and managing investments in private companies of all sizes and acting as an NED on the boards of investee companies. Today she divides her time between good causes, principally environmental and community based and those at the university/business interface. These involve using her skills in helping young or growing businesses and organisations and those embarking on and executing change to find the best ways to meet their business/social/charitable/educational objectives and expand their networks. She is a Trustee of The Woodland Trust (woodland creation and conservation) and Green-Works (office furniture recycling), a director of Cambridge Enterprise (technology transfer) and a member of the Advisory Board of Cambridge Judge Business School. She is a member of the National Panel of LEGI (a government funded initiative to generate enterprise in deprived areas) and a former member of the Private Sector Panel advising the Deputy PM on neighbourhood renewal. She remains a Special Adviser to Charterhouse.
