Gregor Kreuzer
CPO & Co-Founder
As Chief Product Officer at qashqade, Gregor writes about the underlying mechanics of private markets, with a particular focus on waterfall structures, carried interest, and fund distributions. His work explores how economic intent is translated into calculation logic and where that translation often breaks down. A recurring theme is the gap between how terms are written and how they are actually understood, modelled, and operated in practice, particularly in environments still reliant on spreadsheets.
With a background spanning product, technology, and governance, Gregor brings a pattern-recognition mindset to complex financial structures. He frequently shares insights from years of working with diverse variations of waterfalls, catch-ups, and incentive models, highlighting what truly matters for accuracy and robustness. In addition he regularly engages with industry peers on allocation management, risk management, operational resilience, and the limits of existing approaches.
