Draft:Tom Schiroder

 TOM SCHIRODER 

Tom Schroeder was born in 1974 and has four children with his wife. He founded his first company in 1999 during his studies in Cologne. This was followed by numerous start-ups, acquisitions and company sales until he retired from the day-to-day operations of Wishcard Group in mid-2021, after his founding partner and he previously sold a majority stake in Oakley Capital. At this point, Tom has established FIL Bros. Family office and acts as a pure investor. The focus here is on entrepreneurial participations such as CdM Cantiere delle Marche or the support of the founders of Aerofoils GmbH (a spin-off of Audi AG) together with Audi AG and the development of luxury real estate projects in Mallorca.

In addition to many successes, there was a major setback with the insolvency of solarhybrid AG, which was operated in the General Standard of the Deutsche Börse in 2012. With the professional reorientation and founding of Wishcard Technologies Group GmbH in 2014, this failure was countered into the greatest success to date.

The Family Office names the youngest son Fil, who has an extra chromosome and is therefore dependent on help from the family, or later from the three older brothers. Thus, Fil will not be able to be involved operationally, but will be present in the company name in every transaction.
