Leonidas Lobeck, CFA is Managing Partner and Head of Transaction Advisory at AC CHRISTES & PARTNER. He supports investors and entrepreneurs across the entire investment lifecycle – from the initial deal idea to exit – with a clear objective: enabling better decisions in critical transaction situations.

With experience from over 400 transactions across a wide range of industries, both domestically and internationally, his work is centered on Financial Due Diligence, complemented by broader M&A advisory, valuation, and financial modelling, with a clear focus on the topics that fundamentally drive value and risk. His approach combines deep financial expertise (HGB, IFRS, US GAAP) with a technology- and data-driven working style to quickly understand business models and derive clear, actionable, and decision-relevant recommendations.

He also brings extensive experience from auditing, having led international group audits across multiple industries. His perspective is further shaped by more than ten years spent abroad, particularly in the United States and South America. During this time, he also gained entrepreneurial experience, including building a start-up, as well as holding operational roles in marketing, sales, and the service industry.

This combination of transaction experience, international exposure, and operational insight continues to shape his consciously optimistic and solution-oriented mindset, allowing him to focus on opportunities rather than problems – even in complex situations.

He is fluent in German, English, Portuguese, and Spanish, and advanced in French. Outside of transactions, family, sports, and a good dose of humor are an integral part of his everyday life.
