Gilad Ottensoser is a seasoned capital markets and SPAC banking executive currently serving as Chief Financial Officer and Director of Viking Acquisition Corp. I (NYSE: VACI), a blank-check company that priced a $200 million initial public offering. He also holds a dual director-and-officer role at Viking Acquisition Corp. II (NYSE: VII), where he serves as Chief Strategy Officer, having filed an initial Form 3 beneficial ownership statement in connection with that vehicle's $230 million IPO (priced at $200 million and upsized at closing). Viking Acquisition Corp. II is headquartered at 900 Third Avenue, 18th Floor, New York, NY 10022. Ottensoser is identified in SEC filings and public records as a sponsor figure within the Viking SPAC management team, working alongside CEO and director Hakan Wohlin and board chairman Louis Steven Jaffe. His email at Viking is Gil.Ottensoser@vikingspac.com, and his business phone is listed as (631) 353-2402.
Professionally, Ottensoser is a Managing Director with KingsRock Advisors, a New York-based firm specializing in SPAC underwritings, trading, and related advisory work, where he has been focused on the firm's SPAC-related business. He has been associated with KingsRock since at least August 2023, initially in a Head of SPAC capacity, and his current Managing Director role is dated from approximately July 2025. Prior to KingsRock, he was a Managing Director at Deutsche Bank, and he is described as a Deutsche Bank alumnus with over 25 years of experience in capital markets and specifically the SPAC asset class. He is also noted as the founder of Legend Merchant Group. Among his notable advisory engagements, KingsRock served as advisor to SHUAA Partners Acquisition Corp I, and Ottensoser publicly congratulated that client on a transaction. His career has spanned SPAC underwriting, trading, and strategic advisory across multiple market cycles.
Ottensoser holds a Master of Business Administration (MBA) in Finance from NYU Stern School of Business, which he attended from 1998 to 2002. He is approximately 55 years old, born in July 1970, and is based in the New York metropolitan area, with records showing an Englewood, New Jersey residence and a New York business address. Within the Viking SPAC structure, SEC filings confirm his insider status across both Viking Acquisition Corp. I and Viking Acquisition Corp. II, with ownership reports filed as of October 2025 for VACI and June 2026 for VII. His Form 3 for Viking Acquisition Corp. II reported no transactions or holdings, serving as a baseline disclosure of his director and Chief Strategy Officer status. No insider purchase or sale transactions have been recorded for him at either Viking vehicle to date, though fellow insider Hakan Wohlin made a net purchase of 350,000 shares of VACI.U over the prior 18-month reporting window.
This record is keyed to SEC CIK 0002094619 — 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. We also hold 7 institutional-holder rows on these vehicles, under 5 distinct name strings, and none of them is counted across vehicles: that table has no CIK column, and matching holders by name would merge firms that are not the same firm.
