Catella strengthens its financing and transactions team
Catella Corporate Finance is strengthening its advisory services offering on the property financing market through the recruitment of two financing specialists, each of whom is bringing with him solid experience of the banking sector. Two persons are also being employed to work within advisory services on the property transactions market in Stockholm.
Jens Anderson and Oscar Engellau are joining the existing financing advisory team in Stockholm.
“In recent years we have witnessed an ever increasing demand for advisory services relating to property financing. Catella has assisted in providing advice in conjunction with acquisition financing and refinancing in Sweden for almost SEK 25 billion. With these recruitments, we are further strengthening our offering within debt financing,” says Thomas Persson, Managing Director Catella Corporate Finance.
Jens Andersson, a graduate in business administration from Linköping University, possesses solid experience of the credit market thanks to nine years at Aareal Bank in Stockholm; his previous places of work also include SEB and GE Capital. Jens specialises in property financing and the raising of capital on the Nordic market; his most recent position was as CFO and Credit Manager at the Swedish mezzanine finance firm Vanir Asset Management.
Oscar Engellau, a graduate in business administration from the Stockholm School of Economics, was recently recruited from Barclays Capital in London. During his six years in the UK, he has acquired solid international experience of Debt & Equity Capital Markets, Hybrid Capital and M&As. Oscar has also worked at Deutsche Bank’s investment banking department in London.
Christian Uddland and Beata Jacobsson have also been recruited to the property transactions team in Stockholm.
“Despite a degree of reticence on the financing side, the transactions market in Sweden continues to be one of the most active in Europe. We are recruiting two new staff members to our transactions team in Stockholm, and will probably recruit an additional one or more junior staff members during the autumn,” says Thomas Persson.
Christian Uddland, a graduate in engineering from the Royal College of Technology, Stockholm, most recently worked at Skanska Financial Services. During his four years at Skanska, he worked on property financing and the provision of financial advice for the group, primarily within the Nordic markets. Christian is also chairman of Föreningen Fastighetsekonomerna (the Association of Property Economists).
Beata Jacobsson studied property economics at the Royal College of Technology, Stockholm.
