Private Equity Founder | Former BlackRock Executive | Board Member | Coach
Having spent more than 21 years in private equity, I have led numerous direct investments, co‑investments, and fund investments across Europe. In 2021, I co‑founded Saturnus Capital, where we acquire majority stakes in mid‑market businesses, with a strong focus on succession situations. After several successful exits, I feel a strong desire to give back—supporting graduates and young professionals enter their dream careers in private equity and develop into successful, thoughtful, and well‑rounded investors.
