Following a successful 2024, Nordic Capital is pleased to announce four Partner promotions at Nordic Capital Advisors, reflecting the depth and breadth of its leadership team. These individuals have been recognised for their contributions to Nordic Capital's positive momentum and its well-established record for building strong sustainable companies with the potential to shape their industries.
The promotions follow an exciting twelve months at Nordic Capital, having further expanded its portfolio with eleven platform acquisitions and announced four successful exits. Nordic Capital also successfully closed its second mid-market fund Evolution II at the hard cap of EUR 2 billion in only four months, underlining investor confidence in its well-established sub-sector specialist investment strategy and active ownership model. Furthermore, Nordic Capital also enhanced its climate agenda with the firm’s emissions reduction targets being approved by the Science Based Target initiative.
Nordic Capital combines sub-sector and function-focused expertise to support value creation, and its operational and functional experts work closely with the investment advisory teams. Building on this, the new Partners are drawn from the Operations Advisory and Specialist Functions Advisory teams.
