Frederik Kohl comes from a small German town near Luxembourg. He holds both a Bachelor in Business Administration and a Master in Management with specialisation in Accounting and Finance from the University of Mannheim. In the course of his (under-)graduate studies, Frederik spent a semester each at McGill University and Columbia University. During the academic year 2019/2020, Frederik visited the University of Cambridge as a Cambridge Trust scholar to pursue a Research Master in Finance which he passed with distinction in July 2020. He enjoys working interdisciplinarily at the intersection of Accounting, Finance, and Law.
