Nexum Group AG, a Munich-based residential real estate developer, announced the appointment of Sebastian Holl to its Management Board as Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Holl, who brings 30 years of experience in finance and capital markets, will oversee the company's finance function, financing activities, and capital markets strategy. He joins CEO Philipp von Erffa and Chief People & Legal Officer Claudia Vucak on the board.
Holl's career includes senior roles at leading U.S. investment banks such as Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs, as well as at Baader Bank, where as Head of Corporate Broking he assisted numerous companies in accessing international institutional investors. With over 1,000 roadshows and advisory work on transactions exceeding EUR 1 billion, he has built a robust network among small- and mid-cap investors across Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
Dr. Johannes von Bismarck, Chairman of the Supervisory Board, commented: “With Sebastian Holl, we are gaining a proven corporate finance and capital markets expert with a first-class investor network. He brings not only more than 30 years of experience in international capital markets, but also a strong track record in supporting growth companies on their path to institutional investors and family offices. His appointment marks an important milestone for the planned scaling of Nexum Group and supplements a Management Board that is exceptionally well positioned in both breadth and depth to drive the Company’s next phase of growth with focus and determination.”
Holl expressed his enthusiasm: “Nexum Group addresses two key challenges in the residential real estate market: project financing and the creation of an attractive product for both investors and home seekers. The business model is consistently designed around a reduced risk profile, with a focus on projects with advanced building rights, short project durations, and efficient capital rotation. This leads to faster turnover, stronger cash flows, and, as a result, structurally greater attractiveness for all capital partners. I look forward to shaping the next chapter of this growth story together with the team.”
The appointment comes as Nexum Group positions itself for significant scaling. The company specializes in acquiring residential development projects in Germany’s top-7 cities that already have building permits or are eligible for approval in the near term. By working with established general contractors and managing marketing through its own and partner sales networks, Nexum eliminates significant development risks. Project durations are typically shortened to 15 to 30 months, reducing capital tied up and increasing planning certainty.
Nexum defines a new category of project developers, focusing on rapid implementation, capital turnover, and scalability, supported by data-driven systems. The company's current deal pipeline comprises a development volume of over one billion euros. This strategic focus and the addition of a seasoned CFO highlight Nexum's commitment to attracting institutional capital and achieving its growth objectives.
