Before joining the management board of the Carestone Group, Daniel Ahrendt worked for several years at the pan-European real estate investor ActivumSG. There, he was responsible for numerous investments focusing on transactions in the German real estate market – particularly in segmented and specialized property types such as the healthcare sector. Since 2017, he has been involved in the development of Carestone and its predecessor companies in this role, and therefore brings in-depth market knowledge as well as a strong understanding of the challenges and potential in the healthcare real estate sector.

In June 2025, Daniel Ahrendt assumed the role of Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of the Carestone Group, where he was responsible for the company’s commercial operations. In January 2026, he was appointed Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and has since held overall responsibility for the strategic development of Carestone. Together with his fellow managing directors, he leads the company in a challenging market environment and promotes the positioning of senior living and care properties as a stable and sustainable investment.

Daniel Ahrendt began his career in investment banking at Kuna & Co. KG (now Evercore Partners), where he specialized in large-scale M&A and financing transactions in the real estate sector. In 2015, he moved to Société Générale to help build its real estate investment banking division.

Daniel Ahrendt studied economics with a focus on finance and accounting at Goethe University Frankfurt and spent part of his studies at Charles University in Prague.
