“We are excited to welcome our new managing partner, managing directors and senior associates to KingsRock as we continue to expand the global reach of our capital solutions business,” Hakan Wohlin, founder and managing partner and Louis Jaffe co-founder, managing partner of KingsRock, jointly said. “Our commitment to strengthening our partnership model will further enhance our ability to serve our credit, corporate and sponsor clients in the U.S. and internationally. In the near term, we will share more details about our European expansion, and our growing partnerships beyond Europe to support clients worldwide.”
KingsRock closed several U.S. transactions in 2024, including a programmatic sale leaseback of community and regional bank branches. KingsRock advised Mountainseed, an Atlanta-based company serving the U.S. banking community with a range of services and solutions, and, after running a competitive process, paired them with a globally established institutional investor. This investor committed up to $2 billion to support this strategy.
