Emerging Leader
of the Year (2026)

As an M&A Advisor, I lead complex buy- and sell-side transactions and maintain close relationships with a broad network of investors across various industries. This provides me with first-hand insight into the expectations, priorities and challenges of buyers and sellers alike.
I have advised on more than 100 transactions with an aggregate transaction value exceeding €3 billion, spanning M&A, financial due diligence and corporate finance. My experience ranges from founder-led businesses to complex upper mid-market transactions across a broad range of industries.
Having worked across both transaction advisory and M&A execution, I combine rigorous financial analysis with a practical understanding of what drives buyers, investors and business owners. My approach is hands-on and focused on navigating complexity, creating transparency and achieving the best possible transaction outcome.
