The CITY interview: Nichola Pease

Nicola Pease rarely gives interviews and is uncomfortable with the public's fascination over the perfectly groomed, rich and successful Alpha Females of the Square Mile, though it has to be said that she fulfils the textbook qualifications.

A tall, slim blonde with a winning smile, 39-year-old Pease is married to multi-millionaire fund manager Crispin Odey, and combines running JO Hambro with bringing up three children.

...

She comes from a City dynasty. Her father Sir Richard, comes from one of the founding familles of Barclays Bank and Is a former chairman of Yorkshire Bank. Her brother also named Richard, works for New Star Asset Management.

In the same way that she runs the business: makes "executive decisions" while other people do all the real work.

'Beckham of the City' who preyed on banks gave Tories £30,000 | Mail Online

A hedge fund high-flyer who made a killing from the financial crash has donated £30,000 to the Tories.

Crispin Odey, nicknamed the 'David Beckham of the City' for his success in the money markets, raked in a fortune by short-selling shares in British banks.

His gift, handed over in July, is the latest in a series from so-called City 'wolves' seeking to bankroll David Cameron's bid for Downing Street.
