I lead M&A mandates for funds, family offices and mid cap companies in DACH and CEE.
Carve-outs, sell sides, buy-and-build add-ons, founder transactions. End-to-end coverage from term sheet to closing. Specialized in Consumer business, B2B foodservice & distribution, Tech / 2B and 2C eCommerce, and adjacent verticals. Available as embedded Head of M&A, single project lead, or independent sponsor partner.
How I work
Three engagement models. The structure depends on what is missing from the deal team.
Embedded Head of M&A
For buy-and-build platforms with an active add-on pipeline and no senior in-house deal capacity. Six to eighteen months on the platform team. End-to-end execution on add-on acquisitions.
Deal-Lead Mandate
Project-based M&A execution for sell-sides, carve-outs and and buy-side processes. NBO to term sheet, diligence, binding bids, negotiation, SPA, signing, closing mechanics. Three to six months from term sheet to close.
Independent Sponsor Partnership
Co-execution with sourcing-strong search funds, solo GPs and family offices on proprietary deals. I run the end-to-end workstream from joint approach through diligence to close.
