MY OFFER

You can benefit from a treasure trove of experience without hiring a complete team of advisors.

You get open and clear advise, no advisor verbiage, no fancy power point.

You choose where you need support, no product bundling, no executive selling.

I offer professional and comprehensive support throughout all stages of a M&A process.

 

ABOUT ME

25 years of M&A experience
Over the last 25 years I have worked on M&A transactions of all kind. In 2020 I started my own business with a focus on family-owned companies. Before I have led the M&A department of OSRAM and worked for Siemens M&A. I managed and oversaw over 100 successful deals.

 

Successful cross-border transactions in all major economies
I closed transactions inter alia in USA, China, Japan, Germany, UK and Russia.

 

Experienced in the broad industrial and technology sector
I have worked on transactions involving companies from the traditional industrial sector, semiconductor, software and consumer sector.

Field experience with all types of transactions
I am familiar with all types of transactions, from the acquisition of small start up companies or a new strategic leg to the divestment of a major business with over 5000 employees, from the foundation of a Joint Venture in Russia to the dissolution of a Joint Venture in China.

 

From deal preparation to deal execution
During my career I held responsibility for all stages of the M&A process, including target screening, preparation of divestments, deal initiation, deal execution and negotiation and planning of integration projects.

 

Deals of each size and with diverse partners
I dealt with blue chip companies and major private equity houses, but I am also familiar with the particularities of small start ups and mid-sized family owned businesses. The size of transactions I managed ranges from several Million Euro to several hundred Million Euro.
