Commenting on Sauerland’s arrival, Robert Koller, NowCM founder and co-CEO, says the company is now ready to embark on a “new phase of growth, scaling our operations to align with those of our major clients”.

Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Luxembourg, NowCM serves the primary debt capital markets, providing a cloud-native data solution which it claims is capable of “creating, negotiating, and managing debt”.
The firm also offers first-time and infrequent issuers access to primary markets through its Treasury-as-a-Service (TaaS) facility, regulated by the CSSF.
