Drew Loucks is a Managing Director at Great Hill Partners, a Boston- and London-based private equity firm. He joined Great Hill in 2010 and now leads the firm’s London office. His firm bio lists him as an Investment Committee member and Executive Committee member, with a sector focus on software and business services.

Before Great Hill, Loucks worked as an Associate at Tudor Investment Corporation and as an Associate at Jefferies & Company. He earned an MBA from The Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College and a BA in Economics and Government from Bowdoin College.

In March 2023, Great Hill opened its London office, with Loucks leading the office as the firm’s regional hub for the UK and Europe. In that announcement, he said the UK and Europe are “dynamic and attractive markets” and that a London presence would help Great Hill expand European investment activity and support U.S.-based portfolio companies expanding overseas.

In September 2025, Great Hill announced Fund IX, a $7 billion growth buyout fund, and named Loucks among the longtime Managing Directors appointed to the firm’s Executive Committee in connection with the fund.
