DigitalBridge Strengthens Commitment to European Region with Hiring of Ersin Yorulmaz as Co-Head of European Capital Formation

New appointment reinforces DigitalBridge’s commitment to building a global, best-in-class team in digital infrastructure

DigitalBridge Group, Inc. (NYSE: DBRG) (“DigitalBridge”) today announced it has hired Ersin Yorulmaz as Managing Director, Co-Head of European Capital Formation, effective immediately. Yorulmaz’s appointment further solidifies DigitalBridge’s already strong commitment to the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), with the firm’s existing regional client base and portfolio of investments across all segments of digital infrastructure. He assumes the role alongside Alice Franks, who was appointed Head of European Capital Formation in February 2023.

Yorulmaz brings over 10 years of experience in capital formation, along with deep expertise in the DACH market. He was previously at BlackRock where he served as Country Lead of Alternatives Distribution for Germany, Austria & Eastern Europe (EEGA), leading capital raising efforts across private markets. In this role, Yorulmaz forged deep relationships with LPs in the region, expanding BlackRock’s client base with a focus on institutional clients across pension funds, insurers, savings banks, foundations, as well as the private wealth segment. Prior to joining BlackRock in 2015, Yorulmaz was an Investment Solutions Consultant at Julius Baer. Yorulmaz is a CFA charterholder.

“We are delighted to welcome Ersin at such an exciting time for DigitalBridge in the DACH region,” said Kevin Smithen, Chief Commercial and Strategy Officer at DigitalBridge. “Ersin will be based in Zurich and brings tremendous regional expertise along with extensive fundraising experience that will greatly benefit our growing DACH LP-base and portfolio of investments in the region.”

"I am thrilled to be part of DigitalBridge’s next phase of growth, and proud to be joining a pioneering organization committed to unlocking the vast potential of digital infrastructure,” said Ersin Yorulmaz. “In an era that will increasingly be defined by groundbreaking technologies and generative AI, the significance of robust digital infrastructure cannot be overstated. I am excited to collaborate with the leaders at DigitalBridge, in Europe and globally, as we work towards a future where technology empowers and transforms societies.”

Yorulmaz’s appointment further cements the company’s presence in the DACH region and across Europe more broadly. In 2022, DigitalBridge led the acquisition of a majority stake in GD Towers, Germany's largest tower company, in a transaction valued at $17.5 billion.
