Bio

Frederik is the CEO and Co-founder of DiligenceSquared. Before DiligenceSquared, Frederik was a Principal in Blackstone's Private Equity team across San Francisco, New York, and London, doing multi-billion dollar buyout deals. He was a key decision-maker on the buy-side of commercial due diligence projects, commissioning dozens of $500K+ reports from firms like McKinsey and BCG. He knows what makes diligence credible to investors - and where traditional consulting wastes time and money.
