"From the beginning, I valued the deep entrepreneurial spirit at Apax, rooted in the firm’s history of Venture Capital. Seeking impact through insight and tenacity reminded me of the values I was once taught by my father, an entrepreneur from Eastern Germany who started his own business following the fall of the Berlin Wall. At the same time, I enjoy the collaborative culture of the deal teams. Just as crucial as in one of my favourite sports, mountain climbing, we succeed as one global team."
