Background
Juergen Moessner is the founder, co-founder, and President of Global Capital Finance, an international financial advisory firm he established (the firm dates to circa 2000) with overall management responsibility for its operations. He brings roughly 30 years of experience in international corporate finance, leasing, and structured/asset-based financing, with a stated record of innovation across those areas.
Before founding Global Capital Finance, Moessner was a member of the U.S. Investment Banking Management Committee at Credit Suisse First Boston, where he built and led the Global Lease Finance Group as Managing Director / Global Product Head — a business spanning eight offices worldwide with more than $10 billion in transaction volume. Earlier in his career he served as a Partner of ABB Financial Services and President of ABB Leasing and ABB Asset Finance, and before that as an officer of Deutsche Bank and DB Export Leasing, managing international lease-financing activity across multiple regions.
Moessner holds a Diplom-Wirtschaftsingenieur (a Master's-level degree combining finance and engineering, with a focus in Operations Research) from the University of Karlsruhe (TH) in Germany, completed 1983–1988. He is fluent in German, French, and English and is based in the Westchester County, New York area (Purchase / White Plains).
Under Moessner, Global Capital Finance concentrates on asset-based financing, origination, execution, and syndication, drawing on a global network of equity, tax-based equity, and debt lenders. The firm advises developers seeking equity and debt, sellers during divestitures, and investors during acquisitions across the renewable energy value chain.
Investment Thesis & Focus
- Strategic focus on the renewable energy sector across all major sub-sectors: onshore/offshore wind, solar PV and CSP, hydro, biomass, biogas, geothermal, waste-to-energy, and storage.
- Core activities are M&A advisory (buy-side and sell-side, with financial modeling, syndication, and bid services) and financing (asset-based debt financing of renewable energy projects and corporate debt financing of renewable energy companies).
- Emphasis on asset-based and structured financing — the firm's self-described strength is "asset-based financing, origination, execution, and syndication" backed by "a robust global network of contacts and clients throughout the investment community including longstanding relationships with equity and tax-based equity lenders."
- Deep diligence orientation: the team stresses knowledge of credit analysis, asset classes, pricing, tax implications, and jurisdictional considerations — reflecting Moessner's leasing/structured-finance roots at CSFB, ABB, and Deutsche Bank.
- Note: no publicly verifiable record of Moessner making personal early-stage/angel startup investments was found; the "seed / angel" tagging appears to originate from investor-database aggregators rather than disclosed deals.
