Hi there!

My name is Gregory, and I’m a lower middle market private equity professional with a passion for building scalable platforms, solving complex integration puzzles, and navigating successions and ownership transitions in a way that benefits both sellers and investors.

Over the past 13+ years, I’ve worked across the full spectrum of the investment lifecycle — from late-night pitchbooks in investment banking and all-night LBO marathons to boardroom negotiations and those never-ending value creation workshops we all pretend to love.

Currently, I’m Managing Director at Winterberg Group AG, where I lead investments in Switzerland with a focus on small and mid-cap Buy & Build platforms. I specialize in sectors where structural change meets operational complexity — particularly medical technologies and TICC (Testing, Inspection, Certification, and Calibration). These are industries where our capital and hands-on approach can drive real, lasting impact. I also lead M&A efforts across Winterberg’s portfolio platforms, helping consolidate fragmented markets full of opportunities (and the occasional surprise).

Before Winterberg, I cut my teeth in U.S. real estate private equity, working on landmark developments in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Lake Tahoe. Prior to that, I supported Mubadala on a multi-billion dollar co-investment mandate in emerging markets, covering everything from airports and agriculture to biotech and base metals.

My earlier career took me through Hubert Burda Media, where I helped build their corporate venture capital arm, and Deutsche Bank, where I contributed to large-cap M&A, IPOs, and debt deals across sectors like infrastructure, retail, energy, and healthcare.

So, yes — I’ve pretty much experienced every corner of the deal world, both buy-side and sell-side, across geographies, sectors, and asset classes.

I’ve lived and worked in Moscow and Munich, and I bring a cross-border, multi-cultural mindset to every deal I touch. I’m a fan of structured thinking, detailed term sheets, and strong espresso. Most of all, I enjoy working with sellers and management to turn local champions into regional leaders.

When I’m not in meetings or buried in a model, you’ll find me playing golf, vibe coding, fishing, hiking, or skiing – depending on the season. I enjoy dissecting market trends over coffee and chasing the next big idea — always with a long-term view, whether in investing or life.

As a self-declared lazy person, I’m also deeply passionate about coding and automation. I build tools that eliminate repetitive, brain-numbing tasks from my day-to-day – and some of these experiments have turned into small, profitable mini-businesses. If it can be automated, it should be.

This intersection of Private Equity and Technology is my sweet spot – and where I plan to spend the next 15–20 years. If things go according to plan, you’ll find me eventually on the Nordic coastlines or Austrian ski slopes, laptop in hand, still building, still investing, still trying to automate away my to-do list.
