Paul Hemings, Nelson Advisors: Corporate Finance Foundations, Entrepreneurial Operations and Venture Exits

The global mergers and acquisitions (M&A) landscape within Healthcare Technology (HealthTech), Medical Technology (MedTech), Digital Health, Healthcare IT, and Healthcare Artificial Intelligence (AI) has undergone a fundamental structural transformation. Driven by macroeconomic realignments, regulatory complexities, and the transition from speculative growth to capital efficiency, the advisory ecosystem has shifted from generalist investment institutions toward highly specialised, domain-focused boutiques. Central to this advisory transition in the European and transatlantic markets is Paul Hemings, an experienced dealmaker, entrepreneur, and Co-Founder and Partner of Nelson Advisors LLP.
  
Operating out of London, Nelson Advisors is a boutique corporate finance advisory firm specialising exclusively in lower-to-middle market transactions, typically targeting companies with Enterprise Values (EV) between $25 million and $250 million. Hemings brings a unique dual background to the firm: over a decade of institutional investment banking and capital markets execution at major global firms, paired with ten years of operational experience as a two-time venture founder. 
  
During his institutional investment banking tenure, he participated in the advisory and execution of over $50 billion to $60 billion in completed M&A transactions and $40 billion to $50 billion in equity and capital markets financings across heavily regulated global sectors. As an operational founder, Hemings built and exited two ventures across metabolic health technology and consumer retail, acquiring direct experience in scaling technology, navigating regulatory hurdles, and managing corporate exits.
  
At Nelson Advisors LLP, co-founded alongside veteran digital health entrepreneur Lloyd Price, Hemings advises healthcare technology platforms, strategic corporate acquirers, and private equity sponsors on buy-side and sell-side M&A, corporate divestitures, roll-up strategies, and strategic growth partnerships across the United Kingdom, Europe, and North America. Hemings also serves as a Partner at VSP Investments, holds non-executive director (NED) and board advisory roles across early-stage technology companies, and acts as a corporate finance instructor and guest lecturer at institutions including London Business School.
