Summa Equity hires three new partners
Nordic PE house Summa Equity has hired Christoph Waer, Tim He and Matthias Fink as partners.
Waer joins as a partner, focusing on the "changing demographics" theme, targeting companies in the healthcare and life sciences sectors. Based in Belgium, his role will involve generating and sourcing new opportunities, and serving as a partner for portfolio companies. Before joining Summa, Waer managed the life science activities for Korys, a European family office, where he notably helped set up the OMX Europe Venture Fund.
Tim He joins as a partner within the "tech-enabled transformation" theme, focusing on Summa's growth investment strategy. Based in Stockholm, his role will be focused on new idea generation, assessing and executing new investments, and working with founders and CEOs on value creation and developing companies. He joins Summa from Kinnevik, where he was an investment director. Prior to Kinnevik, he was a principal at Northzone and also brings hands-on operational experience from Groupon.
Fink will join in November to lead Summa's work in the DACH region, spanning sourcing, value creation and portfolio management across investment themes, with a focus on resource efficiency and tech-enabled transformation. He will lead on the expansion of Summa's Munich office, building on the company's first investment in Germany earlier this year. Fink was previously a partner at The Riverside Company, prior to which he was a consultant at Boston Consulting Group.
Since its launch in 2016, Summa Equity has launched two funds, and now has EUR 1.6bn in assets under management. The company has made five new investments and five exits and IPOs so far this year, it said in a statement.
