Tobias Bittrich hands over management of Corporate Banking to Frederik Gottlob

Frederik Gottlob joined Berenberg in London in 2016 through the International Graduate Program. Born in Hamburg, he then moved to Corporate Banking in Hamburg. In 2022, he took over the Merchant Banking Origination & Growth team, and since 2024 he has been Director and Head of Corporates. “Frederik Gottlob has extensive experience in both equity and debt business and is therefore an excellent contact for our diverse client groups – from start-ups to family offices and medium-sized family businesses to listed companies,” explains Hendrik Riehmer, personally liable partner at Berenberg.

“After 18 wonderful and successful years at Berenberg, the time has come for me to pursue something new. The expansion of corporate banking, which was crowned by the success of our newly established private debt business, was only possible at a bank like Berenberg,” says Bittrich.

“Tobias Bittrich has shaped the development of our corporate banking business since joining the company and has played a decisive role in ensuring that the division is now very well positioned and has become an important source of income for the bank. We would like to thank him for his extraordinary commitment and outstanding achievements,” said Riehmer.

Tobias Bittrich joined Berenberg in 2007, became Managing Director in 2009, and has been a member of the extended management board since 2020. In addition to expanding the traditional areas of corporates, structured finance, shipping, and real estate, he was responsible for establishing a successful and promising new business line in infrastructure and energy. Under his leadership, Berenberg has become one of the leading and largest market players in private debt funds, with its services receiving multiple awards. The growing importance of this unit is also reflected in the number of employees in corporate banking, which has quadrupled under his leadership.
