Yves Scharf joins Investec Germany as Senior Director M&A

Strengthening our Industrial Tech & Services franchise

Investec is pleased to welcome Yves Scharf as Senior Director, joining the international Industrial Tech & Services team with a focus on the German-speaking markets.

Yves brings deep sector expertise across Industrial Tech (with a particular focus on robotics and automation) and Technical Services, where his work has centred on scalable, infrastructure-driven business models. He has a strong track record in cross-border M&A and capital markets transactions, including IPOs, advising both corporates and SMEs.

Yves comments: “Investec stands for entrepreneurial thinking. After years in global investment banking and SME advisory in the industrial space, I’m excited to bring these two worlds together – helping industrial SMEs turn structural change into an opportunity and build scalable business models that shape the next chapter of German industrial leadership. Investec offers the ideal platform: globally connected, sector-focused, and at its core as entrepreneurial as our clients.”

Ervin Schellenberg, Managing Partner Investec Advisory Europe, adds: “Yves spent a decade in Morgan Stanley’s Industrials team in London and Frankfurt before advising industrial SMEs. He works as a true strategic partner to family businesses, founders, listed corporates and financial investors navigating transformation. For our clients, that means a partner who is genuinely available, thinks alongside them through every option, and stays the course – not only during a transaction, but well before and well after. His combination of international M&A expertise, sector depth and SME focus will meaningfully strengthen our presence in the German market.”
