NorthWall Capital Opens New York Office, Spearheading US Expansion

New York; 5^th September 2025: NorthWall Capital (“NorthWall”), a European alternative credit specialist delivering private capital solutions to Western European counterparties, today announces the opening of its New York City office, and the appointment of John Meuchner as Senior Business Development Executive, North America, within its Investor Partnerships team.

In his role, John will be responsible for strengthening and expanding relationships with institutional investors across North America, as NorthWall cements its already significant US presence. John is the firm’s first locally hired team member to be based in NorthWall’s New York office. The office will be led by Garrett Holmes, Managing Director on NorthWall’s Legal Assets Investment team and General Counsel. Rebecca Frisch, an Associate on the Investor Partnerships team will relocate from London to New York City.

For NorthWall, establishing a permanent presence in New York represents the natural next step in the firm’s evolution. Today, US-based investors account for approximately half of the firm’s €3 billion in assets under management, and their growing need for diversification and appetite for European private credit has underscored the need for on-the-ground support. By opening in New York, NorthWall is expanding its client coverage capabilities to better serve its existing investor base, while deepening relationships with a broader pool of US allocators.

John brings nearly a decade of experience in investor relations and business development across leading alternative asset managers. He joins from Sandton Capital Partners, a private credit manager focused on special situations, where he was Head of Marketing and Investor Relations. Prior to Sandton, he held roles at Aurelius Capital Management, a stressed/distressed credit and event-driven investment manager, as well as at Graticule Asset Management Asia, and Greenwich Associates. This diverse background gives John a strong platform to engage with the institutional investor community and support NorthWall’s ambitions in North America.

Garrett serves as General Counsel and leads the firm’s Legal Assets strategy, which focuses on private credit solutions for law firms. A corporate lawyer by background, he started his career in London at Kirkland & Ellis beofre moving to Sidley Austin and joining NorthWall in 2019. Since relocating back to the US in 2021, Garrett has worked remotely for NorthWall and has been instrumental in expanding NorthWall’s legal assets capabilities and supporting the firm’s broader strategic ambitions.

NorthWall’s New York office will formally open in October 2025.

Fabian Chrobog, Chief Investment Officer at NorthWall Capital, commented:
“We’re excited by the prospect of expanding our firm internationally, and are especially delighted to welcome John to the NorthWall team. Over the past several years, we’ve seen sustained growth in commitments from North American LPs, who now represent a substantial portion of our investor base. Establishing a permanent presence in New York is a clear signal of our long-term commitment to this market, enabling us to build even closer partnerships with investors and to seize the opportunities we see ahead. We are also excited that Garrett and Rebecca will join John in New York which will ensure continuity of NorthWall’s culture in our first international office.”

John Meuchner, Senior Business Development Executive, North America, added:
“NorthWall has a proven ability to deliver innovative, flexible private credit solutions across Europe’s mid-market. I’m excited to help establish our presence in New York at a time when US investor interest in European private credit is accelerating. This is a pivotal moment for the firm, and I look forward to working closely with both existing and new partners to grow our platform.”

Garrett Holmes, Managing Director, Legal Assets, added: “I’m thrilled to be part of NorthWall’s next chapter as we establish a permanent presence in New York. Having colleagues on the ground here is an important step in supporting the firm’s growth and expanding presence in the US, while continuing to foster the collaborative culture that defines NorthWall. I look forward to deepening our relationships with partners in the US and further advancing the firm’s international ambitions.”
