A decade advising on cross-border M&A and financial due diligence across the DACH region — from investment committee presentations to SPA negotiations. Now writing on the forces reshaping the deal landscape: AI concentration, geopolitical risk, and the future of capital deployment.

In a world fracturing along geopolitical fault lines, companies can withdraw from an economy overnight. Operational presence should carry the same obligations as capital market access.
End-to-end FDD across buy-side and sell-side: QoE, EBITDA normalisation, working capital, net debt, cash flow sustainability.
Cross-border deal execution across DACH and globally. SPA support, IC presentations, valuation structuring, and negotiation.
Self-learning Python models for FDD analytics. Automation toolbars deployed across global transaction teams at Accenture.
Writing on AI concentration, geopolitical risk, and the structural forces reshaping how capital is deployed and valued globally.
I am an Associate Manager in Corporate Development and Financial Due Diligence at Accenture, based in Frankfurt. I have led complex transactions across the DACH region for over a decade — at Deloitte, Kroll, and Accenture — advising investment committees, structuring SPA negotiations, and building the automation tools that make rigorous diligence faster.
I hold a Master of Finance from Goethe Business School, where my thesis modelled the application of AI to EBITDA adjustment identification — producing a working self-learning Python model. I am a Certified Valuation Analyst, CFA Level I candidate, and ACCA part-qualified.
