Severin Pesch is a Dacapo partner. Previously, for eight years in total, he worked in consulting, M&A and Private Equity. During this time, he was involved in different industries and functional areas such as finance, strategy, succession planning and restructuring. Severin grew up as a potential family business successor of a company producing industrial valves and drive technology. He holds a degree in industrial engineering and business from the Rheinische Fachhochschule Köln and the Technical University of Berlin.
In addition, Dacapo has at its disposal a network of industrial professionals who are brought into investments as appropriate. This takes place as part of an active process: they too become actively involved in this process as corporate investors themselves, in order to secure strategic development of the business domain. We do this with the clear intention to re-establish the business domain to be acquired - strategically, organisationally, and operationally - and to secure its long-term viability.A prerequisite for involvement is the readiness of all participants to accept the Dacapo partners as active entrepreneurs in the target for investment. For the company or business domain this means - besides capital - access to excellent management experience, access to existing and new markets and to an extensive international network.
