About VdD Consult

VdD (a.k.a. “Volpe del Deserto” - “Desert Fox”) was founded in 2014 by Christoph Rommel, a senior executive banker and Bankier, upon his return from Asia to Europe.

With over 30 years of relevant experience taking him from apprenticeship to board-and GP level, Christoph has held a number of diverse senior executive and entrepreneur roles in Corporate & Investment Banking as well as in Private Wealth & Institutional Asset Management in Europe and in Asia/Pacific. Furthermore, through family, Christoph entertains strong links with selected Sub-Saharan African markets.

Home-based at Lake Como, VdD acts not only as strategic advisor, but also structures & arranges debt-/equity-capital for non-listed, family owned businesses/entrepreneurial families. We act on behalf of corporates/families in the I-DACH-region, particularly those operating internationally in Asian and/or Sub Saharan African markets. VdD provides senior commitment for a limited number of such type of institutional clients each year and extends its reach globally through its strategic partnership with LANCEA Partners, a London based, independent investment banking boutique, authorized and regulated by the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority.

VdD’s two folded market-approach is based upon:

i) Christoph’s philosophy to deal with clients on eye-level, “from entrepreneur to entrepreneur”;
ii) Christoph’s core competencies in:

  • Building cultural and commercial bridges between international markets & teams

  • Trade & Commodity Finance

  • Structured Project Finance

  • Asset backed Finance

  • Merger & Acquisition Projects with non-listed companies

  • Risk & Opportunity Management

  • Corporate Governance
