About
Selected work
€900M cross-border acquisition, industrialsFeatured
Deal execution · Bulge-bracket bank
Ran the model and diligence on a €900M cross-border acquisition from first pitch to close in nine months.
Challenge. A mid-cap industrials client wanted to buy a family-owned competitor across the border, but the target had opaque financials, three earn-out structures on the table, and a financing market that turned mid-process.
Results. €900M deal closed; financing re-cut in two weeks when the debt market moved; synergy case that survived management diligence; client returned for the follow-on carve-out.
First-time issuer IPO on the main market
Equity capital markets · Elite boutique
Took a founder-led company through its first equity raise, from equity story to allocation.
Challenge. A profitable but under-the-radar company wanted to list, but had no public track record, an equity story that didn't yet land with institutions, and a narrow market window.
Results. Oversubscribed book; priced in the top half of the range; anchor investors locked before launch; a clean first-day trade and a stable aftermarket.
Carve-out and refinancing, portfolio company
Financing lead · Bulge-bracket bank
Helped a sponsor separate a division and refinance it as a standalone credit.
Challenge. A private-equity owner wanted to carve a division out of its portfolio company and refinance it, but the two businesses shared systems, contracts and a single set of lender covenants.
Results. Standalone entity financed on its own credit; €400M of debt raised with two new lenders; separation timeline the sponsor could underwrite; model adopted for the next carve-out in the fund.
