The seasoned team at Panteo Global Partners is led by Thorsten Lederer, Managing Partner, who orchestrates all operations and involved external business associates under the umbrella of our management consulting and corporate finance advisory firm.

Thorsten brings a strong track record from senior roles within top-tier financial institutions in Germany and Luxembourg, including Citigroup and ABN AMRO, spanning over 25 years. He holds a foundation in banking and finance from Frankfurt School of Finance & Management. A three-time founder and former banker since 2012, he combines entrepreneurial drive with board-level perspective as a CSSF-accredited independent non-executive director.

With over two decades of experience across asset classes, Thorsten has a particular focus on the alternative investment product suite and related ESG integration. His expertise spans direct lending, opportunistic credit, illiquid asset-backed special situations, and distressed debt, with active engagement across primary and secondary markets on a pan-European scale.

Since 2018, Thorsten has been actively involved in blockchain-driven capital markets initiatives, advising and investing in early-stage tokenisation, digital asset, and Web3 ventures. This positions him at the intersection of traditional private markets and emerging digital infrastructure, with a focus on governance, structuring, and the institutionalisation of tokenised assets.

He brings a strong understanding of multi-jurisdictional frameworks and non-traditional assets, combined with deep technical credit expertise in complex cross-border corporate finance. In parallel, he serves as an advisory board member, mentor, and business angel to a diverse portfolio of early-stage ventures.

Thorsten maintains a well-established network across global capital markets, the fund industry, and legal ecosystems. He is also co-host of The Authentic Grit, a leadership-focused video podcast featuring decision-makers from the financial services and technology sectors, providing a platform for candid conversations at the intersection of leadership, capital, and innovation.

As moderator of several members-only LinkedIn communities—including "Pan European Distressed Debt Investing," "DACH Mittelstand Investing," and "PERE | Private Equity Real Estate Investing"—he regularly contributes insights and frequently acts as moderator or panelist at leading European conferences on private debt, capital markets, restructuring, and special situations.
