PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

• • Since summer 2020, I started investing and currently hold 8 participations in start-ups, technology companies and funds focussing on disrupting technologies

1995 - Sep 2020

• • My professional career started with E&Y in 1995 as an accountant and management advisor focussing on banks and corporate treasury departments in Austria. Since 1999 and following my graduation at WU Wien in 1997 as Magister (an MBA equivalent) and completing my compulsory military service in 1998, I continued in London at the investment banking departments of UBS Warburg, ABN AMRO, Citigroup and Morgan Stanley, advising German and Austrian financial institutions on M&A, Equity and Debt Capital Markets Offerings and focussed since 2005, particularly on the restructuring of distressed banks.

  Key completed transactions I advised on include:

  • - the sale of the Austrian Postal Savings Bank (PSK) to BAWAG in 2000

  • - the acquisition of 3 German private banks by ABN AMRO in 2003 and 2004,

  • - the creation of DnB Nord, a Scandinavian JV between NordLB and DNB Nor, with the subsequent acquisition of polish BISE Bank in 2005

  • - UniCredit public takeover of HVB and Bank Austria with subsequent group disposals and integrations during 2005 and 2006,

  • - the acquisition of the distressed Allgemeine Hypothekenbank Rheinboden by Lone Star and subsequent restructurings in 2005 and 2006

  • - the restructuring and de-merger of the Austrian nationalised Kommunalkredit into a good and bad bank in 2009, and

  • - the sale of BayernLB's holding in Hypo Group Alpe Adria to the Republic of Austria in 2009

• • In April 2010, I returned to Austria to become a board member and CFO of the nationalised Hypo Group Alpe Adria, leaving London as Executive Director at Morgan Stanley

• • The initial five years were characterised by a massive restructuring separating the wind-down activities from the 'good banks'; the majority of them were re-privatised to Advent International in 2015

• • With Advent, a new phase started by rebranding the Group to Addiko Bank and as CFO and Transformation Officer, I contributed to the successful transformation and capital market repositioning from the previous universal banking model into today's distinctive proposition: Focus on Consumer & SME lending, Payments, and Digital. This led to Addiko's IPO at the Vienna Stock Exchange in July 2019, and then a new shareholder base in 2020

EDUCATION/MILITARY SERVICE

• • Graduation to Mag. der Betriebswirtschaftslehre (MBA equivalent), March 1997 University of Economics & Business Administration, Vienna
