Eight Advisory appoints Kay Wüste as Transaction Services partner in the DACH region
We are pleased to announce our further expansion of the Transaction Services line in Germany with the appointment of new partner and financial expert Kay Wüste. Based in Frankfurt, he will holistically advise clients with a focus on buy- and sell-side financial due diligence and SPA support.
Kay Wüste brings over 20 years of professional experience, including both acquisition (buy-side) and vendor (sell-side) transaction support and valuation services to international strategic and financial investors alike. Before joining Eight Advisory, he was a Managing Director at a major independent European consulting company in Germany. Prior to this, he spent over 12 years with one of the Big 4 firms, advising global corporate clients and private equity houses primarily on complex, cross-border, and carve-out transactions and valuation matters.
Over the past few years, Eight Advisory has steadily expanded its offer in the DACH region with 89 professionals, including 12 partners, which support large corporate and private equity clients in the Cologne, Frankfurt, Munich, Hamburg, and Zurich offices. The Transaction services team assists clients with buy- and sell-side due diligence, performance and independent business reviews.
Kay Wüste said:
“I am very pleased to be able to support Eight Advisory’s clients with their M&A-projects. Together with the entire team, I aim to provide our clients with precise, high-quality advice and excellent solutions. Our ambition is to earn our clients’ trust every day and to actively shape long-term, successful relationships.
Michael Wahl, Managing Partner, Eight Advisory Germany, added:
“Alongside market developments, extended areas of due diligence are gaining in importance. These factors call for tailored solutions and highly focused advisory services. With Kay Wüste’s expertise and the combined strength of our Transaction and other Services across the DACH region and globally, we provide a solid foundation for investment and financing decisions.
Eric Demuyt, Managing Director & Partner at Eight Advisory, commented on the appointment of Kay Wüste:
“We are pleased to welcome Kay Wüste as Partner in our leading international Transaction Services practice. The M&A market is becoming increasingly dynamic and complex, leading to heightened risk exposure for all parties involved. In this challenging environment, the need for well-prepared transactions has never been greater to navigate difficult financing conditions and often significantly diverging price expectations.
