Björn Hofmann joins Herter & Co. as Managing Partner with immediate effect to further expand the debt advisory segment for corporate clients. With over 20 years of structuring experience in the German market, Björn joins from IKB Deutsche Industriebank AG, where he was heading the Corporate Structured Finance team for the last 7 years, leading numerous advisory mandates as well as syndicated loan transactions. Previously Björn worked for Dresdner Kleinwort, WestLB und Mediobanca in Frankfurt and London.
Björn Hofmann: „Herter & Co. is a well-known, reputable and very successful independent debt advisory firm. I have been strongly impressed by the successful track-record in corporate debt advisory, private equity debt advisory and restructuring. I am excited to join this exceptional team with a focus to further expand the corporate debt advisory segment.“
“We are happy to have Björn on board. As a leading firm in the debt advisory space in the DACH region we see increasing needs in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and the partial withdrawal of banks from this market segment. With Björn joining we want to further grow our corporate advisory segment. He has significant experience and is highly regarded in the industry.“ Marcel Herter, Founding Partner of Herter & Co. stated. „The team will as well be further strengthened with the hiring of additional juniors.“
Herter and Co. recently advised amongst others OHB, KAEFER and EEW on their successful debt financings.
