Building and backing businesses across trade, technology and real assets. Based in Dubai. Rooted in Germany. At home in the United States. Long horizons. Good craftsmanship. A low profile.
Some build loudly. I prefer things that hold their value when nobody is watching.
Two decades of founding, leading and investing — across international trading, private markets and real assets, together with a longstanding network of partners, banks and financing houses on three continents. Most of my work happens off stage. That is by design.
Private positions across real assets, public markets and early-stage companies — and the occasional passion investment, from wine to watches. Patient capital, few bets.
Founding, operating and leading trading businesses internationally — owner-led, built to last.
Longstanding relationships with banks, lenders and financing partners — structures that hold when it counts.
The part that matters most. Mostly private, occasionally not.
Substance over noise.
Preferably by introduction. If you write anyway, make it worth reading.
