Skills
Summary
From running my own company and merging it with its largest competitor, NTplus AG, to leading the ISP AddCom AG as Co-CEO and selling the company to the publicly listed Tiscali SpA, to being part of a large organization as Managing Director (while being responsible for more than $1 billion in annual revenues at ElectronicPartner), I have gained broad experience in the IT, software, telecommunications, consumer electronics, and Internet sectors. Since 2008, I have been using this knowledge to advise growth-stage technology companies on fundraising and exits. After more than 11 years as a Partner at GP Bullhound, I decided to pursue another exciting opportunity and joined Drake Star as a Partner in early 2024. With Drake Star's very strong US presence and unrivaled access to buyers and investors, I will be able to provide an even better service to my clients. Drake Star is an award-winning global tech investment bank that has completed over 500 transactions since 2003. The Drake Star team of 100 senior professionals across offices in New York, Munich, London, Paris, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Berlin, and Dubai (Partner Office) focuses on mergers & acquisitions and corporate finance services worldwide in Software/SaaS, HR Tech, Digital Services, FinTech, Digital Media, Industrial Tech, Consumer & Retail Tech and Mobility & Sustainability.
