Help !! - Seeking referral for PE!

Hi everyone!

I am quite desperate - I'm looking for a referral to any deal origination position within the private equity sector in London, UK. I have c. 3 years of experience in market research and deal origination (with several acquisitions and portfolio consolidations for small/med/large caps) and am fluent in 4 languages (Arabic, French, English and Spanish). I have a strong understanding of commercial drivers and financial acumen.

If you have any questions, advice, or recommendations, please feel free!
