DARAG Europe CEO appointed global head of M&A

DARAG Group, a legacy acquirer, has appointed Alexander Roth as global head of M&A in addition to his existing role as CEO of DARAG Europe. At the same time, Dan Linden, CEO of DARAG North America, is stepping down from his position.

Roth first joined the group in 2016 and has since held a series of senior positions and was appointed CEO of DARAG Europe in March 2021. Prior to joining DARAG, Roth worked at EY and a boutique M&A firm in Luxembourg on distressed M&A and restructuring, including crisis and turnaround management.

DARAG group CEO Tom Booth said: “Alex’s expanded role represents DARAG taking a more unified approach to M&A. He will be the central touchpoint, providing a consistent approach to transactions globally. Our European operations have moved from strength to strength under Alex’s lead, and I have every confidence that this will continue as he takes on his broader remit.”

He added: “We are sad to say goodbye to Dan Linden, who has been extremely influential in getting DARAG to where it is in the US and Bermuda. I would like to thank him for his support over the years and we wish him every success in the future.”
