About Us

“AtlanticNexus represents exactly the kind of experienced, hands-on partner European firms need when entering the U.S. market.

Florian Hartmann was instrumental in our successful U.S. expansion. He developed and executed a custom-tailored market entry strategy that balanced opportunity with careful risk management. As our interim CEO, he oversaw everything from regulatory approvals and licensing to hiring, operations, and infrastructure – all with exceptional precision,commitment and leadership. The foundation he built enabled us to scale confidently and sustainably. With AtlanticNexus, Florian and Michael bring that same strategic focus and executional excellence to companies aiming to succeed in the U.S.”

“I had the opportunity to work closely with Michael Monheim during aufeminin’s U.S. expansion, when I was part of the Global Executive Team. At the time, aufeminin had been acquired by Axel Springer, and Michael led the U.S. office – driving the company’s sales and digital transformation efforts.

I saw the impact of his work firsthand. Michael was a key force behind our growth strategy – leveraging his exceptional network and deep understanding of the market to establish our position as a credible media player in the U.S.

Companies entering the U.S. today would be hard-pressed to find someone with Michael’s combination of vision, relationships, and executional excellence. It’s exactly this kind of experience that makes him, and AtlanticNexus Partners, such valuable allies for any European company navigating U.S. expansion.”

“AtlanticNexus Partners brings the strategic clarity and on-the-ground expertise that European companies need to adapt to the specificities and subtleties of the US market. I’ve worked with Michael Monheim for several years during RTL’s U.S. expansion to succeed and benefit from the incredible growth accelerator of this amazing North American market. He was one of the key drivers of our growth strategy, and I’ve seen the impact of his work up close. Leveraging his exceptional network and deep market insights, Michael helped us to become a strong and competitive player for our international media expertise and a total video powerhouse in the United States, as we were helping fast-moving brands to succeed in their growth and advertising plans in Europe.

Companies entering the U.S. today can only win from meeting Michael and Florian for their unique expertise and smart approach based on a combination of vision, relationships, and executional excellence.”
