Franz Burghagen
Investment Manager
After graduating from high school, Franz Burghagen began studying industrial engineering in mechanical engineering, which he interrupted in favor of a scholarship in the USA. There he devoted himself to competitive athletics before continuing his studies in economics.
After completing his MBA, Franz Burghagen worked for several years in the United States, first as an Institutional Client Services Support Analyst at McKinley Capital Management and later as a Project Management Consultant for a U.S. bank. A few years ago, he returned to Germany and completed the Master of Applied Data Science program at the Frankfurt School of Finance and Management. During this time, he gained practical experience at various companies, including KPMG’s Deal Advisory, KPMG’s Lighthouse and most recently at Lafayette Mittelstand Capital. These experiences made him enthusiastic about all aspects of private equity.
