Global investment bank GCA Altium has appointed Seth Kundrot as Managing Director in its London deal team.
Kundrot has been a technology investment banker for 14 years, specialising in digital media and internet advisory. He has represented UK, European, American and Asian clients across more than 35 completed M&A and capital raising transactions. Seth joins the firm from Mooreland Partners and has also held senior positions with Arma Partners, Investec and Jefferies.
Kundrot was previously responsible for Mooreland’s European digital media practice, where he advised on the most recent growth capital raising for Blis, one of the largest private ad-tech financings ever completed in the UK. Other deals include the sale of Nextperf to Rakuten Marketing and the recapitalisations of QualiTest by Marlin Equity Partners and Momondo by Great Hill Partners. Seth has advised on multiple transactions in marketing technology, travel technology, e-Commerce, marketplaces, interactive entertainment, and enterprise software and services, representing strategic and private equity clients in both domestic and cross-border outcomes.
In his new role, Kundrot will focus on deepening GCA Altium’s areas of expertise within digital media and consumer internet. He will lead coverage of these areas within the UK and will also be supporting GCA Altium’s activities in Europe and on a trans-Atlantic basis across the firm’s 15 offices in 10 countries. Seth will also assume responsibility in expanding GCA Altium’s corporate finance activities in later-stage venture and growth capital raisings, leveraging his and the firm’s global relationships within the technology sector.
Phil Adams, Chief Executive at GCA Altium, says: “Seth is an excellent addition to the team, bringing with him a wealth of experience across a wide range of transactions. His knowledge of the global tech scene will be particularly valuable to us, and will enable him to work closely with our Asian and US businesses to generate real value for clients.”
Kundrot says: “Following the merger with GCA Savvian, GCA Altium has become one of the world’s leading investment banks in the tech sector, with unrivalled global reach, sector knowledge and execution strength. The business has developed a reputation for advising on some of the highest-profile M&A and capital raising transactions in the global digital media and consumer internet sector, including most recently, Sprint’s investment in Tidal and the sales of Harpan to Zynga and eXelate to Nielsen, so it is the perfect move for me.”
