Edward Hanson has been involved in Private Equity and Real Estate for the last 20 years.

Edward is a non-executive director of Southern Right Capital UK, Ltd and is also a director of Corviglia Capital Limited which funds joint ventures with property developers.

Edward started his career investment banking with Babcock & Brown in London in 1997. He helped set up its European Real Estate business and then raised the group’s first Private Equity fund.
