Cricket
Born in Westminster in July 1979, Redmayne is the son of Richard Redmayne, a professional in corporate finance, and Patricia (née Burke), who operates a relocation company. He received his education at Eton College followed by Trinity College, Oxford. During his time at Oxford, he participated in first-class cricket. His first appearance was for the combined Oxford Universities side against Gloucestershire in Bristol in 2000. That season, he featured in several matches for both Oxford Universities and Oxford University, including the traditional University Match facing Cambridge University. After a hiatus from first-class cricket in 2001, he returned in 2002 playing for Oxford UCCE against Northamptonshire and again represented Oxford University in the annual University Match. Across six first-class games, Redmayne accumulated 245 runs with an average of 30.62 and achieved a highest score of 75 not out.

Following his graduation from Oxford, Redmayne embarked on a career as an investment banker at Goldman Sachs based in London. In 2005, he transitioned to CVC Capital Partners, where he occupied several positions both in London and subsequently in Hong Kong, ultimately becoming senior managing director. In June 2020, he joined Searchlight Capital.
He is the brother of actor Eddie Redmayne, and their great-grandfather was Sir Richard Redmayne, a distinguished civil and mining engineer.
