🇩🇪 Head of Germany | Frankfurt Build-Out

While parts of the asset management industry are facing pressure — from performance challenges to ongoing M&A and consolidation — it’s refreshing to see firms continuing to invest in growth, positioning and long-term market build-out.

Across both public and private markets, we are seeing a clear shift towards more integrated, partnership-led approaches, combining media, intelligence and strategic positioning — particularly in core markets such as Germany.
