Capitalmind, the global M&A and corporate finance advisory firm, expands its presence into the Swiss market. The Zurich-based M&A advisory business will be led by Markus Decker and Thomas Ellenberger together with their team of corporate finance specialists.

The new Zurich office, with a long-established and successful team, will provide its Swiss client base with access to Capitalmind’s excellent international network. Moreover, Switzerland is a key region for Capitalmind due to the extensive transaction activity with the current locations of the group.
“We look forward to the intensive international collaboration with our new colleagues, sharing Capitalmind’s commitment to outstanding advice and entrepreneurial spirit” say Markus Decker and Thomas Ellenberger, Managing Partners of Capitalmind AG, Zürich.

Capitalmind’s Managing Partners Michel Degryck, Jan Willem Jonkman and Ervin Schellenberg comment “We are very pleased to extend our presence in the attractive Swiss M&A market and welcome Markus, Thomas and their team in our closely integrated European organization”.

The partnership between Capitalmind and its new team in Switzerland provides continuity to the previous international collaboration which started more than 10 years ago.

Capitalmind’s operations in the Swiss market will build on the successful mid-market corporate finance business which Markus Decker has acquired from Affentranger Associates SA. Following his 10-year Managing Partner role at Affentranger Associates, he will continue to successfully develop the M&A
activities with his team and with the same commitment to the highest professional standards. In addition, the team will be reinforced by Thomas Ellenberger who will contribute his strong experience as entrepreneur in providing business development and strategic advice to corporate clients from a range of different industries. Based on its international deal experience in various sectors, specifically Healthcare, Industrials, Business Services and TMT, the Swiss team will strongly contribute to Capitalmind’s growth in Europe.
