Claire is an accomplished marketing professional and business leader with over 15 years of experience setting up and managing businesses across London, Hong Kong, and China. With lots of business acumen and a knack for quickly understanding complex client needs, she plays a crucial role in our success.

As our behind-the-scenes business brain, Claire oversees our business strategy, planning, and marketing. Highly organized (some might say a perfectionist!), she keeps the team in check and ensures everything runs smoothly.

Beyond the boardroom, Claire thrives on creative problem-solving, enjoys working with clients to find the best solutions, and seeing their goals realised.

When she’s not busy steering the business, you might find her running, cycling, walking her cocker spaniel,  enjoying great food, or indulging in a bit of interior design inspiration.

Dr Anthony Beck brings over two decades of experience in raising finance, building investor relationships, and scaling businesses across Asia. He began his investment journey in 2004 while securing funding to expand his own chain of veterinary hospitals—starting with angel investors and quickly moving onto institutional lenders. Since then, Anthony has built an exceptional personal network of high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and institutional backers, many of whom are now actively engaged in opportunities presented through Skovby.

Anthony is known for his strategic mindset, sharp commercial instinct, and deep understanding of our clients’ needs and investor expectations. He has successfully raised finance and advised business owners on how to optimise their operations to attract investment.

At Skovby, Anthony is responsible for matching our clients with suitable investors and securing the funding they need. Whether it’s sourcing capital for hotel acquisitions, green energy projects, or large-scale developments, he draws on both his experience and personal connections to open doors and close deals.

Away from his desk Anthony is still a partner in the Animal Medical Centre seeing veterinary clients 1 to 2 days per week and is a family man. Early mornings and weekends he can be found training for half Ironman triathlon races, or Standup Paddling off the coast of Lantau Island.
