Based in Germany, Tom has garnered immense experience across a number of senior M&A roles, most recently as Global Head of Corporate Development & M&A at the healthcare company Mediq BV.

It’s not just about numbers, but about strategy, innovation, and helping businesses and its owners to take the next step. I’m looking forward to helping our clients to achieve M&A success.”
