Link Capital Welcomes Henrik Amstutz to the Team

We are excited to have Henrik's expertise and talents on board, and we look forward to Henrik's contributions to Link Capital. His expertise in strategy and finance will be applied across multiple diverse projects, reflecting the dynamic nature of his responsibilities. Get to know Henrik a little better in the Q&A below:

Q: Tell us a little bit about your background

A: I was born and raised in Switzerland, and after completing my military service in the Swiss Air Force, I pursued my Bachelor’s degree at the University of Exeter in the UK. Following that, I delved into the world of investment banking in London.

Q: Could you share a bit about the most interesting projects you’ve worked on recently prior to joining Link Capital?

One of the most significant projects I had the opportunity to be a part of involved advising our client in acquiring a 50% stake in Hornsea II, the world’s largest offshore wind farm. It was a fast-paced and dynamic project that left a lasting impact, contributing to the positive momentum in our energy transition.

Q: What compelled you to join the Link Capital mission?

A: A large part of it was the team and the international reach that Link Capital has. Combining that with trying to do our bit in the energy transition, whether it is investing capital in early stage firms or teaching start-ups how to effectively and efficiently scale and fundraise is a fantastic combination. Plus, it helps my fiancée is living and working in Stavanger too!

Q: What will you be taking on at Link Capital? What can we expect to see from you moving forward?

A: With Link Capital I am confident I will be wearing a lot of different hats! Primarily, I will be supporting the team as a "portfolio manager", acting as a first point of contact for all our portfolio companies, internal and external reporting, and generally having a "helicopter" view of our three funds. Additionally, I will be actively supporting the team in new investment opportunities running due diligence and valuation, while also focusing on current portfolio companies which are fundraising or in negotiations with key customers. Overall, this will be an incredible opportunity and I am looking forward to meeting many driven founders and talented investors alike.

All of us at Link Capital look forward to lots of exciting days with Henrik!
