Bridging the Gap: Connecting Global General Partners with Nordic Investors

Many leading private market managers have yet to tap into the Nordic investor landscape. Even some of the largest players struggle to establish lasting relationships with the right institutions. Cattegatt bridges this gap by connecting General Partners with a diverse range of investors, from family offices to Tier One institutions.

Expanding the Nordic Investor Base

While some General Partners may have a few investors in the region, expanding the investor base can be challenging without a strong local network. Cattegatt provides the on-the-ground expertise needed to navigate this landscape, ensuring that every opportunity is explored and followed up on.

Cattegatt offers deep expertise across a broad range of asset classes, including buyout, growth equity, private debt, venture capital, real estate, and infrastructure.

Leadership

In 2025, after over 20 years in the financial industry, I decided to relaunch my company, Cattegatt, with the mission of providing a first-class placement agent service that combines a high-touch Nordic approach and exclusive access. I bring experience from working in London, Stockholm, and Frankfurt with firms such as Merrill Lynch, Handelsbanken, and leading global placement agencies Eaton Partners, Capstone Partners (Mizuho), and Mercury Capital Advisors, a Merrill Lynch spin-off. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of supporting some of the most respected General Partners in the industry with their fundraising efforts, collectively accumulating more than $200 billion in assets under management
