Hewer takes over acquisition finance at SEB as Wakefield retires

Hewer will replace Simon Wakefield, who retires after 20 years as head of the unit. Hewer joined SEB in 2011, having previously led acquisition finance for RBS in Germany, and has spent the last six years leading the team at SEB in Frankfurt where he will continue working in his new position.  

He will report to Rolf Andersch, who is head of debt financing and financial sponsor coverage at SEB, incorporating leveraged finance, sponsor coverage, project and asset finance, corporate loan origination, debt capital markets and syndication. As well as investing in senior debt, the bank is also able to make mezzanine and equity investments.

Wakefield has been with SEB since 1997, and has been working in private equity since 1984 when he started arranging LBO financing in New York working for Kleinwort Benson. "The industry has been a very exciting  and interesting place to work and it has attracted so many talented individuals," he said in a statement. "I am confident that this industry has a great future, which I hope I will be able to continue to observe for many years."
