About Me

Christian Herz owns 45% of the private equity firm Mayfair SE, whose investments have included the sports apparel company Puma. He is the grandson of Tchibo co-founder Max Herz, who built a fortune based on the importation and sale of coffee. His father, Guenter, ran Tchibo for almost 35 years. The family also built a stake in skin-care company Beiersdorf, whose brands include Nivea. Guenter and his sister, Daniela Herz-Schnoeckel, founded Mayfair after they were bought out of the family business in 2003. As one of Mayfair's managing directors, Christian Herz is active in the shaping investment decisions.
