Bernd Wendeln

ACF Investment Bank is expanding its operations into Germany and has appointed Bernd Wendeln as head of M&A, Europe.

The appointment is part of a move by ACF, which has bases in the US and US, to grow its footprint across Europe.

Based in Munich, Wendeln has over 20 years of experience in media and entertainment M&A with media owners, private equity funds, and family offices.

He was previously head of M&A at Verve Group and COO at Your Family Entertainment AG. He has held senior M&A and corporate development roles at Tele München Group, now part of Mediawan/Leonine, and at ProSiebenSat.1 Media.

The appointment follows ACF’s recent launch of its New York City office, led by Jason Rejebian.

ACF recently acted as the investment banker to See-Saw Films for its sale to Mediawan, and to live events producer Done+Dusted for its sale to Endeavor.

“Germany represents a cornerstone market for ACF’s next chapter of growth,” said Thomas Dey, CEO of ACF Investment Bank.
