Titanbay Appoints Private Markets Fintech Veteran as Head of Germany

Titanbay is pleased to appoint Julius Kolberg as Head of Germany, marking another step in our European growth strategy. Julius will join the Wealth Solutions team to head our German market efforts, partnering with banks, wealth managers and digital investment platforms to enhance private markets programmes through operational excellence, robust regulatory governance and advanced technology. For wealth managers, it means reduced complexity, lower operational risk, and infrastructure that supports long term growth.

Julius brings over nine years of experience in fintech, private markets, and SaaS. He joins from portagon GmbH, where he most recently served as Senior Business Development Manager, leading the go-to-market strategy for a private markets SaaS platform. Across his career at portagon, Julius held progressive leadership roles spanning project management, customer success, and business development, accumulating deep expertise in translating complex investment workflows into scalable digital infrastructure. He has worked closely with banks, custodians, and fund administrators to structure technical partnerships and navigate the regulatory requirements of MiFID II, and ELTIF 2.0. 

"We're happy to welcome Julius to the Titanbay team," said Michael Gruener, Co-CEO. "His knowledge of the German market, combined with his track record of building partnerships across banks and platforms, will be invaluable as we deepen our presence in one of Europe's most important private markets opportunities."

Julius shares our conviction that while private markets are an increasing priority for German wealth managers and banks, the operational and regulatory complexity involved often creates a significant barrier to scale. Titanbay's infrastructure was purpose-built to resolve these challenges, streamlining onboarding, fund structuring, capital flows, and reporting through a single platform.

"Germany has momentum in private markets, but many institutions face real infrastructure barriers that slow them down," said Julius Kolberg, Head of Germany. "Titanbay provides the platform that allows wealth managers and banks to move beyond those constraints. I'm excited to join the team and support our partners as they build and scale their private markets programmes."

With Germany a key growth market for Titanbay, Julius’s appointment reaffirms our dedication to pairing global infrastructure with local expertise, empowering clients to grow with confidence.
