Alexander Luycx joins M&A firm DC Advisory in London

Corporate finance firm DC Advisory has appointed Alexander Luycx a Managing Director in its Tech, Media & Telecoms (TMT) team in London. 

Luycx brings more than fifteen years of experience in investment banking and corporate finance to the firm. He joins from Torch Partners Corporate Finance, where he worked for eleven years, latterly as a Managing Director with a focus on M&A in the software & technology sectors. During the period, he advised dozens of businesses and private equity firms in the UK, Europe and the US with a range of M&A services, including valuations, due diligence and valuation. 

His experience includes the sale of One.com to Cinven, Bricsys to Hexagon, the acquisition of IT-Ernity by TransIP and the sale of UK2 to The Hut Group. Previously, Luycx was a member of the Corporate Finance team at Dutch merchant bank Kempen & Co in Amsterdam.

“I joined DC Advisory because of the global TMT platform. Being connected to investors and strategic players in the TMT space globally places DC in a very strong position to advise on cross-border tech deals,” said Luycx. Last year, DC Advisory’s 120-strong TMT team across Europe, Asia and the Americas completed over 50 deals in the landscape. 

Richard Madden, CEO of DC Advisory in the UK, commented: “Alexander’s broad software & technology expertise, alongside his absolute commitment to the right advice for clients, makes him an excellent fit for DC Advisory. He brings a depth of knowledge and an international outlook that will be invaluable to our clients.”

Earlier this year, DC Advisory promoted seven professionals – Martin Krastev, Phillip Hyman, Sebastian Daumueller, James Pople, James Nichols, Amish Bakhai and Endong Zhai – to executive director in its London office.
