BPI Office opening in Berlin and two new hires

22 June 2021

BPI has opened a new office space in Germany’s capital Berlin which will be home to five investment experts.

With an international team of investment experts, BurdaPrincipal Investments (BPI), the growth capital arm of Hubert Burda Media, has been operating out of three offices in Munich, London, and Singapore so far. Now, BPI has opened a new office space in Germany’s capital Berlin which will be home to five investment experts. On May 1, 2021, BPI moved into its new premises at Heiligegeistkirchplatz in Berlin, the same building where Burda’s content marketing agency C3 has its German headquarters.

 

“As our investments focus on consumer tech and we have quite a few portfolio companies based in Berlin, we decided to increase our presence in the German capital to engage more deeply with the ecosystem there. I am delighted about our new, central premises and looking forward to sharing the same building with our colleagues from C3.”

Laura Möller and Julian von Eckartsberg join BPI

Burda’s international team of investment experts also welcomes two new hires: Starting as Managing Director Europe, Julian von Eckartsberg (36) will join Burda’s management team from October 2021 onwards and focus on the DACH region. He comes from ProSiebenSat.1, where he was most recently CEO of Stylight, a search engine for fashion and lifestyle. Prior to that, Eckartsberg, who joined ProSiebenSat.1 in 2015, was Head of Strategy for the Group and worked on strategic projects for Digital Ventures & Commerce. Before joining ProSiebenSat.1, he was an entrepreneur himself and sold his startup after founding and building it up. The business graduate started his career at Solon Management Consulting.

 

“I’m thrilled about our new hires as they will help us increase our investment activities in Germany and Europe. Julian brings a wealth of operational experience to BPI as the Ex-CEO of Stylight while Laura is very well connected in Berlin’s start-up and investment scene.“
