Philipp Richard Freiherr von Girsewald serves as Chief Financial Officer of Viking Acquisition Corp. II (NYSE: VII), a special purpose acquisition company headquartered at 900 Third Avenue, 18th Floor, New York, NY 10022. He was appointed to the officer role in connection with the SPAC's formation and initial public offering, and his status as a reporting insider was established via a Form 3 initial statement of beneficial ownership filed with the SEC on June 30, 2026. At the time of that filing, von Girsewald reported no direct or indirect securities holdings and no derivative positions in Viking Acquisition Corp. II, indicating that his equity interest, if any, had not yet been allocated or was not reportable at the initial disclosure date.
Beyond his SPAC role, von Girsewald has been identified by Bloomberg as CEO:US at Deposit Solutions GmbH, a Hamburg-based fintech company specializing in deposit and savings product platforms. This position reflects his involvement in the financial technology sector and suggests a career bridging European banking innovation with U.S. capital markets activity. Details regarding the full scope of his responsibilities at Deposit Solutions, including tenure and prior titles within the firm, are limited in the available sources.
Viking Acquisition Corp. II priced its initial public offering at $200 million on July 1, 2026, and subsequently closed the IPO at $230 million on July 6, 2026, with separate trading of its Class A ordinary shares and warrants commencing July 20, 2026. The SPAC trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker VII and is classified within the shell companies sector under financial services. As of mid-2026, the company had a reported market capitalization of approximately $306.82 million and a float of 20 million shares. No business combination target had been announced at the time of the available filings.
The available sources do not provide detailed information regarding von Girsewald's educational background, earlier career history prior to Deposit Solutions, specific board seats at other entities, or a track record of prior SPAC deals or exits. Similarly, no information was found regarding his compensation arrangements at Viking Acquisition Corp. II or any previous M&A transactions he may have been involved in. His professional profile as captured in public filings centers on his dual roles as a senior fintech executive in the United States and as the chief financial officer of a newly public New York-based acquisition vehicle.
This record is keyed to SEC CIK 0002139220 — the identifier this person files under in their own name. Every vehicle above is a filing made under that CIK, so “the same person on two shells” is a fact about an SEC identifier rather than about a name that happens to match.
Roles are the strings the filings used, in the order they were filed. Nothing on this page ranks them, infers seniority, or offers a reason why any two of these names recur — a recurrence is a count, and the filings that produced it are linked beside every row.
