Strong entrepreneurial culture

Nordic Capital was founded in 1989 by two entrepreneurs who set out to find creative ways to build businesses of the future. They were pioneers of an industry that is now well established. They developed a culture where analytical and financial skillsets are combined with an entrepreneurial passion for developing businesses and this still typifies our business today. Nordic Capital currently employs c. 250 people in ten different countries, and it is that culture that binds us to together.

Core Principles

We have defined six core principles that underpin the way we do business. They are an integral part of our recruitment, leadership and people development processes.

A responsible and healthy workplace

Nordic Capital aims to be a gold standard employer and we take an active approach to creating a healthy workplace. We believe that it is important to balance a challenging work life with good health and wellbeing, and we offer our team a variety of benefits such as fitness subsidies and preventative health examinations. We also encourage our people to look beyond their professional roles and engage in initiatives with a social or philanthropic impact.

Community Engagement

Diversity & Inclusion

We fully support diversity and equal opportunities and we are actively working to increase our gender diversity. Today, we have reached a share of female professionals of 33%, and as a result of a continued focus on diversity and improving Nordic Capital’s gender balance, 67% of all interns onboarded in 2023 were females. We are a sponsor of Level 20, a non-profit organisation dedicated to improving gender diversity in the European private equity industry and we engage in mentoring programmes.

"Working here offers a great combination of being a local champion with an international outlook. It demands both strategic thinking and operational focus and even after over 15 years in the business I learn something new every day."
