The Team

Your advisory team is led by Stefan Sovinz and Oliver Gerstberger.  

Through 25 years in the financing sector, Stefan Sovinz has acquired extensive experience in special financing/leveraged finance from a commercial, legal and tax perspective in addition to many years as sales manager of a well-known leasing company. He has been advising on leasing and hire-purchase financing as a debt advisor since 2021 and founded LeasingPilot in 2021 as the first consultancy specialising in this financing sector in the German market.  

Oliver Gerstberger has many years of experience as a treasurer and banker. After starting his career in investment banking, he worked in various treasury positions and as Head of Treasury for both family-run and private equity-run companies and was able to gain extensive experience with lease financing as a client.  

Our goal is to make leasing and hire purchase more attractive, accessible and transparent for all parties involved - from start-ups to multinational corporations, from top investment grade creditworthiness to restructuring.
