Corporate credit specialist Muzinich & Co has added to its European private debt team with the appointment of Jan Henrik Reichenbach as head of DACH private debt (Germany, Austria, Switzerland).
He will be based in the firm’s Frankfurt office.
Reichenbach has more than 17 years of financing and capital markets experience and joins the firm from Ernst & Young where he was a partner in the capital & debt advisory team for the DACH region. He was focused on relationships with financial investors as well as providing financing advice to companies in special situations.
Prior to joining Ernst & Young, Reichenbach held senior roles at Houlihan Lokey where he worked on the sell side, and at HSBC, in both advisory and structuring capacities, as well as on the buy side at Unigestion and JP Morgan Partners.
Muzinich co-head of European private debt, Kirsten Bode, says: “Our private debt business focuses on the identification, initiation, processing and support of direct financing solutions for small and medium-sized companies. Jan has a successful track record over many years in executing loan deals, managing mandates and advising clients on their financing needs. He has built a superb network throughout this market, making him an ideal addition to our steadily growing private debt team.”
Reichenbach brings Muzinich’s private debt team to 25 strong globally. The firm has nine offices, including two in the UK, London and Manchester.
Reichenbach adds: “I am very excited to be joining a firm with such a strong commitment to the direct lending space. Muzinich’s progress in a short time is impressive and I hope to help further accelerate the growth of the business in the DACH regions.”
