He graduated from Cambridge with a degree in engineering and business studies, going on to work at Keyser Ullman, then Schlesinger Investment Management, before being recruited in 1979 by a former colleague to manage Fidelity's Special Situations Fund. He ran the fund for 28 years, stepping down in 2007.
