Moritz Müller, a managing director in DC Advisory’s Frankfurt office, is set to join Macquarie Capital to bolster its German infrastructure advisory capabilities, said sources familiar with the situation.

Müller, who joined DC in 2013 as vice president before rising through the ranks to MD in 2020, has resigned from his current role and is set to start at Macquarie also as a managing director some time next year, according to the sources.

He will focus on M&A advisory across all infrastructure and energy sectors, said the sources, reporting into Macquarie Capital’s EMEA head Rainer Langel.

Other MDs in the Frankfurt office of Macquarie Capital include Tim Jaeschke, who specialises in debt advisory in infrastructure and energy.

DC Advisory declined to comment, while Macquarie Capital did not respond to a request for comment.

Müller has experience advising on M&A and debt deals ranging from core to value-add, with a string of recent deals in digital infrastructure, energy transition, transport and social infrastructure.

Earlier this year he advised Cube-backed German fibre company Rune Group on renegotiating its debt, while he previously advised Igneo on its investment in Westenergie Breitband and DWS on an investment in Deutsche Giganetz, according to DC Advisory’s website.

Infralogic also reported that DC Advisory recently worked for Infracapital on the sale of fibre operator Infrafibre.

In the energy transition space, last year he worked for Hy24, the hydrogen-focused investment manager backed by Ardian and FiveT, on an equity investment in Sweden’s H2 Green Steel.

This year DC Advisory also assisted Igneo Infrastructure Partners on a bid for cold storage operator Frigo-Trans, although the deal eventually fell through and the company was acquired by UPS.

Macquarie Capital is currently advising Macquarie’s own fund management unit, Macquarie Asset Management, on the sale of tank storage operator Tanquid after assisting it on a refinancing earlier this year.

The advisory unit of the Australian firm this year also advised Basalt on refinancing its German fibre platform, and Palladio Partners-backed fibre operator GVG Glasfaser on raising debt, while last year it worked on the sale of biogas producer Weltec to a consortium of DWS and MEAG.
