Hayden is a growth equity investor with 14 years of experience scaling and investing in technology companies across Australia and the United States.

He brings a unique perspective shaped by time spent on both sides of the table—from helping scale a General Atlantic–backed enterprise SaaS company in New York, to supporting founders through disciplined, hands-on investing roles in both Sydney and New York.  Earlier in his career, he executed over 30 capital markets and M&A transactions at Credit Suisse, including the IPO of WiseTech Global.

Hayden was Valedictorian of the UWA Business School, graduating with a Bachelor of Commerce and a Bachelor of Economics.  He also co-founded the Finance Association of Western Australia.

Hayden co-founded Blackpeak Growth Partners to partner with exceptional founders and management teams to help accelerate growth, unlock value, and drive long-term success.
