Shay set up Bray Capital in 2011 to invest in innovative companies with potential.
He was the founding partner and Managing Director of NSA (IR.BE.NL.UK) from 1996, which handled the European distribution and sales of nutritional products. This was sold to NSA International LLC in 2014 and Shay remains a shareholder.
He was also a founding investor and Director of Primedia Ltd from 1998 to 2011, helping to build the company until it was sold to the Carlyle Group in 2006, valuing at 76M. It was then re-branded as Global Media GMBH and was subsequently sold to LBI.bv in 2010.
With over 30 years’ experience in this area, Shay works with Bray Capital’s investee companies with a particular focus on strategic direction, building strong management teams and international trading.
In his spare time Shay enjoys yoga, healthy eating, reading inspirational books, playing guitar, watching football, spending time with his family and supporting his chosen charity The Amy Foundation.
