He is taking over from Robert Tranquilli, Managing Partner at Svalner in Sweden, and Michael Wild, Partner at WTS Germany, who have been successfully spearheading the global service line for the past years.
Roland joined WTS Germany in 2018 from one of the Big 4 companies underpinning WTS’ strategic endeavor to be one of the leading professional service firms in tax advisory next to its well established position in tax compliance and tax digital.

Under his leadership and with the support of Sergi Meseguer as GSL Manager the global team is set out to further increase visibility of WTS Global with key stakeholders in the international M&A market and bundle synergies within the global M&A team for joint client initiatives.
As a global independent player which deliberately refrains from conducting annual audits worldwide we are striving to walk aside our clients as their long-trusted advisors. We always, and without exception, put our clients’ interests ahead of our own. Because of our origins as an in-house tax department, we have always had a uniquely client centric focus which remains the group’s primary shared value throughout all regions. Our whole approach is founded on the understanding that we are only ever as good as the value we create for our clients. We always take the time to listen and understand the full strategic context before recommending any solution.
