Thomas Trenker's Summary
"Entrepreneur, Instigator, Innovator. Connectioneer between Wall Street, Silicon Valley and Hollywood. Dealer in Powerful Ideas."
Educated in international finance and economics at Switzerland’s leading business school and NYU’s MBA program, Mr. Trenker's professional career spans the fascinating and cutting-edge worlds of Wall Street, Silicon Valley, and Hollywood.
As a technology banker in New York City and the San Francisco Bay Area, Mr. Trenker participated in numerous equity, debt, and M&A transactions for clients from the software, internet, and biotech industries. He helped raise approx. $3B in growth capital through public stock offerings alone. Moreover, Mr. Trenker worked on M&A mandates ranging from billion-dollar mergers to LBO-type industry rollups to strategic divestitures. Mr. Trenker eventually left Deutsche Bank to complement his banking credentials with a hands-on management role as a startup executive.
As CFO at digital entertainment startup Eveo, Mr. Trenker helped raise $15M in VC funding, managed M&A projects, and oversaw Eveo’s corporate planning, strategy and finances. Eveo was among a handful of startups that pioneered digital distribution of independent film over the Internet. The company made Fortune magazine’s list of “Cool Companies / Hot Ideas” and, unlike most peers, survived the Internet bubble.
