Oakley is also pleased to confirm the appointment of Thomas Rajzbaum as the new Group CEO of Affinitas. Thomas brings more than 20 years of leadership experience across Europe, where he has successfully supported the growth and transformation of international companies across a number of different sectors.
Prior to joining Affinitas, Thomas was a Partner at EQT Group, a global investment organisation, where he founded the French office for its infrastructure funds and led its Education sector strategy across Europe.
Founded by Oakley in 2022, Affinitas has grown to encompass 20 schools, providing high-quality education to more than 14,000 students worldwide.
Oakley’s new investment provides Affinitas with significant capital to support further expansion, with a strong pipeline of new schools looking to join the group. Affinitas will continue to operate under the same founding philosophy- partnering with exceptional founders and entrepreneurs who share the same passion to deliver high-quality education.
