Who we are
Combining experience with digital know-how.
At Sellside Partners, we combine expertise from leading eCommerce investors, strategic M&A advisors, and successful entrepreneurs to deliver tailored exit advisory for digital businesses. Our team’s unique strengths include founding and exiting online businesses, acquiring multiple companies on the buy-side, and advising on strategic growth to maximize value.

My journey began in value equity fund management, developing deep expertise in valuation and market dynamics. As part of SellerX's investment team, I led multiple M&A transactions and helped build one of Europe's largest e-commerce aggregators. This unique combination of financial expertise and hands-on digital commerce experience drives our commitment to maximizing value for entrepreneurs.
With extensive experience in strategic consulting, I've guided numerous digital transactions including AutoScout24 and major IPOs like Allegro and Deliveroo. My work with international clients such as Carglass and Douglas has honed my expertise in value creation and digital transformation. Now, I'm passionate about applying this experience to help digital entrepreneurs achieve optimal exits.
As a former founder who built and successfully sold two online businesses - poster.de and My Best Brands - to international acquirers like Allposters and Signa Group, I understand firsthand the journey of selling a digital business. This personal experience, combined with three decades in the online industry, enables me to provide authentic, practical guidance throughout your exit process.
