It depends. I'd provide the extra recommendation only if the partner provides something new and substantial. For instance if the partner deals with LBS students very often and can put your capabilities in context with other LBS students (in a good way of course), then the reference may be useful. Similarly, if the partner is an LBS alum and can see you as an outstanding LBS contributor, his/her reference may be useful.
But, if your existing references already provide this kind of info, I wouldn't worry.

apshma - this is important information. I would DEFINITELY provide this information in form of an update email. Be tactful in your wording, and do send this info.
Good luck.
Thanks bsd_lover. In my application essay, I had already mentioned about this fund. My question was about the additional reference from the partners of this firm. Thanks.
