BDA’s clients are increasingly looking for secondaries solutions, and I’m excited to build a team to complement BDA’s bankers serving the private equity and institutional investor universe. Asia is ripe for PCA transactions, and BDA is uniquely well placed to help its clients be successful”.

Andrew Huntley, Managing Partner at BDA said, “We’ve got to know Dominik as a leading practitioner in the PCA space and, in addition to being already well known to many BDA clients, he brings with him extensive institutional investor relationships and a track record of successful PCA transaction across Asia, creating a great fit with BDA’s existing platform”.
