The small and mid-cap–focused platform said the appointments reinforce its commitment to expanding its European private credit footprint, adding that it is continuing to recruit as it looks to grow its Munich office further.
Schulte will oversee Capza’s private debt activity in the DACH region, managing the existing portfolio and sourcing new investments. He joined the firm in 2022 from ING’s global leveraged finance platform in Frankfurt, where he was a senior vice president.
