As one of the co-founders of the German Clearwater office, I lead our international Automotive & Mobility sector team as a Partner. I have always been fascinated by the mobility sector due to its innovative capacity and constant technological change. We realise significant, usually cross-border M&A transactions in all (automotive) mobility sub-segments for family businesses, corporations and private equity investors. I am also responsible for the Financial Services division in the DACH region. I started my corporate finance career in 2000 at Dresdner Kleinwort Benson, before co-founding Clearwater. Besides the mobility industry, I am passionate about progressive rock, and Bayern Munich and I love spending time with my wife and our three children.
