Augusta & Co
Mortimer Menzel built up and leads Augusta’s renewables capital placement business. He has 7 years of expertise in placing equity finance in renewable energy deals (both for project and corporate finance) and over 20 years of banking, and legal experience.
Prior to co-founding Augusta in 2002, Mortimer was at Goldman Sachs corporate finance/M&A in Frankfurt. Before that Mortimer was a solicitor with Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer in Frankfurt, specializing in cross-border asset and structured finance transactions. He trained with Linklaters in London.
To date Augusta has placed more than €4.5 billion of capital in the European mid market space, with approximately €3billion of that into renewables assets and companies. Augusta now has a team of 20+ bankers in London and Frankfurt, about half of whom specialise exclusively in placing equity and debt capital into wind, solar, biomass and biogas companies and assets. Augusta has created some of the industry’s most innovative deals in both assets and the renewables value chain.
