Tech veteran joins board of Investing Women



Investing Women, Scotland’s only all-female business angel group, has appointed Rhona Campbell to its board.

Campbell is an investor in tech companies with more than 20 years’ experience of product management and marketing roles in the sector.

The University of Stirling marketing graduate has been a member of Investing Women since 2013 and has served as an advisor to its board.

Campbell previously worked with the Council of Europe in Strasbourg organising head of state meetings for the organisation. She then moved to New York to take on a global marketing position for the United Nations, organising and supporting non-governmental aid conferences.

After returning to the UK, Rhona moved into the technology sector in the mid-90s where she took on a number of globally facing roles. This included head of marketing and communications at MGt plc, now part of the Paywizard group, and global product manager at McLaren Software. In 2011 she launched Rhona Campbell Associates, a consultancy which supports start-up and investor-funded mobile, digital media, fintech, software and IT services businesses. RCA helps them assess market feasibility, commercialise and launch new products.

Investing Women CEO Jackie Waring said: “Given our growing focus on the UK technology sector, Rhona is a very welcome addition to our board. It’s been a pleasure working alongside her in our angel group where she has brought real value to many of the businesses within our investment portfolio.”

Campbell said: “Investing Women is highly inspiring network of dynamic and successful females which I’ve been proud to be involved with for several years. I’m now delighted to take on this new board role to support its excellent work with start-ups and female-founded companies.”
