DARAG expands role of Europe CEO Roth

DARAG Group has appointed Alexander Roth to global head of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in addition to his existing role as chief executive of DARAG Europe.

Roth first joined the group in 2016 and has since held a series of senior positions. In March 2021, he was appointed chief executive of DARAG Europe.

Prior to joining DARAG, Roth worked at EY and a boutique M&A firm in Luxembourg in the field of distressed M&A and restructuring, including crisis and turnaround management.

Tom Booth, DARAG group chief executive, 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.”

At the same time, Dan Linden, chief executive of DARAG North America, is stepping down from his position.

“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,” Booth said. “I would like to thank him for his support over the years and we wish him every success in the future.”
