Dirk Markus (born January 15, 1971 in Regensburg) is a European entrepreneur. He is the co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of pan-European investment group Aurelius.  From an initial investment of €500,000 invested in 2005, Markus created one of Europe‘s largest private equity and asset management groups with revenues of over €4 billion.

Early life

Markus was born in Regensburg, Germany to parents Manfred and Ingrid Markus. As a child he moved to Austria where his father was professor of Anglistics at the University of Innsbruck and his mother was a teacher.[1] Markus studied Business Administration with a minor in Russian at the University of St. Gallen, Switzerland. He received his doctorate in "Strategic Cooperation in the Multimedia Industry"[2] from St. Gallen and was a visiting research fellow at Harvard University.[3]

Career

Markus has over 20 years‘ experience in the realignment and development of businesses. He started his career as a management consultant with McKinsey, where he focused on cost reduction as well as growth programs. After McKinsey, Markus founded Mercateo, an online business procurement platform where he was responsible for finance and corporate development. Following the sale of Mercateo to German utility E.ON, Markus co-founded a publicly-owned industrial holding company.[4]

Together with Gert Purkert, Markus co-founded investment company Aurelius in 2005. With startup capital of €500,000,[5] they began acquiring companies in special situations and in periods of radical change.

Today, Aurelius is a well-known pan-european private equity group. Its publicly-traded fund Aurelius Equity Opportunities consisted of 22 subsidiaries generating a turnover of approximately €4 billion in the 2017 financial year.[6]

Over the years, Aurelius has acquired a number of well-known brands, including the yacht manufacturer Hanse Yachts, the IT service business Getronics[7] and the car radio brand Blaupunkt. Overall, Markus has bought more than 100 businesses since 2005.

Due to Aurelius‘ value investment style, the German media often draws comparisons between it and Berkshire Hathaway.[8]

Personal life

Markus moved to London in 2013 to support Aurelius‘ expansion beyond traditional German-speaking markets and this is where he currently lives.[9] In 1988, he set the tyrolean track & field record for 3×1000 m in the men’s under-18 category. This record is still held today.[10] In addition, Markus is a passionate racing cyclist, completing the 2017 Castle Ride in Tonbridge, Kent, at a time of 08:03:32.[11] Markus is also an avid art collector and has a collection of over 350 socialist propaganda posters.[12]
