JP Morgan appoints new head of sponsors group
JP Morgan has appointed Carsten Woehrn as new head of financial sponsors group for mergers and acquisitions in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
His appointment comes as the organisation is seeking to grow its financial sponsors group M&A, where private equity is a significant part of the group.
Woehrn's responsibilities include overseeing the sell-side and buy-side advisory origination efforts with financial sponsor clients.
Woehrn replaces Mahir Zaimoglu, who was appointed for the newly created role in 2018 following an increasing number of private equity deals.
Woehrn joined JP Morgan in 2000, and most recently served as head of infrastructure M&A deals. He has significant experience in the origination and execution of transactions for a range of corporate and private equity clients across EMEA.
