Nexum Group AG, a high-growth residential real estate developer based in Munich, has announced the appointment of Sebastian Holl to its Management Board as Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Effective immediately, Holl will oversee the company’s finance function, financing activities, and capital markets strategy, joining CEO Philipp von Erffa and Chief People & Legal Officer Claudia Vucak on the Management Board.
Holl brings three decades of experience in the financial and capital markets industry, having held senior positions at leading U.S. investment banks including Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs, as well as at Baader Bank, where he served as Head of Corporate Broking. During his career, he has conducted more than 1,000 roadshows and advised on transactions totaling over EUR 1 billion, building an extensive network among small- and mid-cap investors across Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
Dr. Johannes von Bismarck, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Nexum Group AG, commented on the appointment: “With Sebastian Holl, we are gaining a proven corporate finance and capital markets expert with a first-class investor network. He brings not only more than 30 years of experience in international capital markets, but also a strong track record in supporting growth companies on their path to institutional investors and family offices. His appointment marks an important milestone for the planned scaling of Nexum Group and supplements a Management Board that is exceptionally well positioned in both breadth and depth to drive the Company’s next phase of growth with focus and determination.”
In response, Holl said: “Nexum Group addresses two key challenges in the residential real estate market: project financing and the creation of an attractive product for both investors and home seekers. The business model is consistently designed around a reduced risk profile, with a focus on projects with advanced building rights, short project durations, and efficient capital rotation. This leads to faster turnover, stronger cash flows, and, as a result, structurally greater attractiveness for all capital partners. I look forward to shaping the next chapter of this growth story together with the team.”
The appointment comes as Nexum Group positions itself for significant expansion. The company specializes in acquiring residential development projects in Germany’s top-7 cities that already have building permits or are eligible for approval in the near term. By leveraging established general contractors and its own sales networks, Nexum eliminates significant development risks, shortens project durations to 15-30 months, and reduces capital tied up while maintaining high planning certainty.
This model differentiates Nexum from traditional project developers, focusing on rapid implementation, capital turnover, and scalability, supported by data-driven systems. The company’s current deal pipeline comprises a development volume of over one billion euros, indicating substantial growth potential.
The strategic hire of a CFO with deep capital markets expertise signals Nexum’s intent to strengthen its financial foundation and investor relations as it scales. Holl’s experience in connecting companies with institutional investors and family offices will be crucial for Nexum to access the capital needed for its ambitious project pipeline.
