Thomas Ewoldt
Managing Partner
M&A Consulting
Over 30 years of exparience as entrepreneur and member of advisory and supervisory boards
I have been advising entrepreneurs and companies for 30 years – always personally. In the first years I was very enthusiastic about innovation consulting, restructuring and shareholdings. 20 years ago I specialized exclusively on company sales/purchases, succession planning, buy & build strategies and corporate shareholdings as well as the associated strategy development. The experience I have gathered from national and international M&A projects in various industries with family businesses as well as small and large corporations helps me to gain a good overall understanding for each of our clients today. Each project has its own specific demands and there are many things to consider – not only the price. It is my task to bring all these project requirements into a meaningful solution and to ensure a successful outcome for our client. This is what I stand for – 100%.
Privately… I am married with two kids and a dog named Nick. As a co-founder of the organization The Bay Areas e.V. I support the exchange between San Francisco / Silicon Valley and Schleswig-Holstein / Northern Germany. I am personally interested in the current challenges of our time, such as Smart Region, New Energy, mobility and mind-change for social change. In my free time I enjoy the diversity of rural life.

In my many years as a consultant I have specialized in the following areas:
Strategic corporate development

Increase in efficiency

Axel Schulz
Managing Partner
With my professional experience as entrepreneur, consultant and supervisory board member, I specialized in M&A consulting many years ago. Each project is as individual as the respective company and the people involved, which always brings me to new ways and solutions. Important is the success of the project, which does not only depend on the methodology but also on the cooperation of the people involved. Leading this cooperation with methodical competence to success is what defines good consulting – nationally and internationally.
Privately…
I’m married, I have two daughters and I love to travel. I always have my running shoes with me. In winter I like skiing and snowboarding. Besides exercising, I dedicate my free time towards my tasks as chairman of the board of The Bay Areas e.V., an organization that connects people and organizations from San Francisco, Kiel and Schleswig-Holstein.
