Kirsty joined Warren Partners as Managing Director in 2023. Kirsty loves managing teams, driving innovation and working with high-performing businesses. As a Board Member and in her capacity as Managing Director, she will lead and inspire us through the next phase of our growth with energy, passion and most importantly, humour.

Having lived, worked and taught extensively in Asia, Kirsty has a true understanding of the power of diverse leadership teams and will be sure to stretch and challenge us on our impact in this critical area for Warren Partners.

Kirsty draws on a wealth of experience building and leading disruptive professional services businesses. This includes roles as Managing Director of Axiom, the world’s largest and fastest growing non-law firm provider of legal services and new market entrant Vario (part of Pinsents Masons), both based in Asia, and a strategy role as Global Head of Alternative Legal Services for international law firm Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner. This, in turn, has brought exposure to and understanding of a huge range of client sectors, issues and company types, including Fortune 50 and mid-sized companies across financial, pharmaceutical, FMCG, and technology sectors.

Kirsty also has FTSE 100 corporate experience, leading a legal function for Diageo, as well as in legal practice, lecturing and legal publishing. She has regularly contributed to legal conferences, thought-leadership in leading legal and financial services journals and made frequent media appearances. In addition, she is currently studying for an MSc in Neuroscience at Kings College (I know!).

After many years living and working in the Far East, Kirsty has settled back in London, finding solace in Asian food, walks with Olive (her sausage dog) and exploring all that the city offers in terms of culture!
