Fiduciam has announced the appointment of Borja as General Counsel.
De Ramon (pictured) has a dual degree in law and business administration from Universidad Pontificia Comillas (ICADE E-3) and recently completing an Executive MBA at IESE in 2022.
He began his professional career at Linklaters Spain, where he spent six years in the M&A department. During this time, he played a key role in advising on public and private M&A transactions, joint ventures, cross-border restructuring deals, and management incentive plans.
He then established the legal department of ThePower, a Spanish start-up providing educational services. In this capacity, he led financing rounds and took responsibility for all legal aspects of the company. This included negotiating corporate and contractual agreements, implementing employment policies, ensuring compliance, and designing international tax structures.
De Ramon said: “I am very excited to join Fiduciam. I am impressed by the young talent of the team and their ambitious plan to become a leading platform in direct lending in Europe, providing excellent service to all their stakeholders.”
