This expertise will be a decisive factor in helping us continue our expansion towards becoming a European champion. His experience of working with private equity-backed companies will also be of great importance to our growth strategy. I warmly welcome him to the WTS Group.”

Dennis Zentgraf adds: 'I am very much looking forward to my new role at the WTS Group. The market for tax consulting and financial advisory services is undergoing an exciting period of change, in which strategic partnerships — such as that between WTS and EQT — are becoming increasingly important. This is where I can make optimal use of my experience.”
