Your Gateway to the U.S. Market

“Having worked closely with Florian and Michael through the German-American Executive Roundtable (Deutsch-Amerikanische Wirtschaftsrunde), I’ve come to value their rare ability to combine strategic foresight with operational depth. They bring a clear understanding of the financial, regulatory, and cultural dynamics that European companies face when entering the U.S. market.Their advice is never theoretical – it’s grounded in experience, pragmatism, and a real commitment to helping companies succeed on both sides of the Atlantic.”

“Many German Mittelstands companies face a dilemma when expanding into the U.S.: they need expert guidance, but often find it difficult to identify a partner who offers both strategic insight and the personal, custom-tailored support they’re looking for. That’s where AtlanticNexus stands out. Florian and Michael offer deep U.S. market expertise, hands-on execution, and the kind of senior-level attention that Mittelstand leaders value. I’ve known both for many years – professionally and personally – and I’ve seen how effectively they guide companies through the complexities of market entry while staying true to each client’s unique culture and goals. For owner-led and family-owned businesses, their partnership offers exactly the right blend of trust, experience, and strategic focus needed to successfully enter the U.S. market.”

“AtlanticNexus brings a rare and essential advantage to the table: deep transatlantic business expertise combined with unique access to Washington insiders and decision-makers. In today’s political and regulatory climate, that kind of access is not just helpful — it’s critical. As someone who has worked at the highest levels of U.S. economic policy, I’ve seen how Michael and Florian operate: with discretion, clarity, and a strong understanding of how to align business strategy with shifting U.S. policy priorities. I’ve known them both personally and professionally for many years, and I can say with confidence that AtlanticNexus is exceptionally well-positioned to help European companies navigate the U.S. market at a time of real complexity and opportunity.”

They render excellent advice and deliver results.”

“I’ve worked with both Florian and Michael for many years – in consulting, entrepreneurship, and through our shared network – and have always valued their strategic mindset and practical approach. Florian is a thoughtful and determined entrepreneur, as I saw firsthand when he launched and led VIVAYA. Michael brought deep marketing and media expertise to Vivaldi, helping us shape our U.S. presence during a key phase of growth. With AtlanticNexus, they bring a level of trust, insight, and effectiveness that makes a real difference for companies navigating the complexities of transatlantic expansion.
