Unlocking the Nordic Market for Leading Private Capital Managers
Cattegatt specializes in forging meaningful connections between global General Partners and investors across the Nordic region. The focus is on partnering with best-in-class General Partners who have a proven track record of success across cycles, helping to match the right partners for sustainable regional AUM growth. Cattegatt also supports Nordic General Partners in scaling assets under management regionally and internationally, and if needed, can serve as an outsourced interim Investor Relations partner, offering tailored support from investor mapping to relationship management, allowing management to focus on value creation.
In addition to primaries, Cattegatt offers cost-efficient secondary brokerage for LP stakes, specializing in smaller interests such as tail-end positions and baskets. The approach is customized for each situation, engaging only the most qualified buyers with well tested processes to ensure success. For LP-led transactions, Cattegatt facilitates deals starting from a few hundred thousand dollars in interests globally.
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 expertise and track record across private market strategies, including buyout, private debt, venture capital, infrastructure, secondaries, co-investments, and fundless sponsored transactions. Cattegatt collaborates with General Partners from lower mid-market to large-caps, who focus on regional and country-specific, as well as single-specialist and multi-sector strategies in Europe and USA, and selectively in other parts of the world when there is a compelling proposition.

Leadership
In 2025, after over 20 years in the financial industry, I decided to relaunch my company, Cattegatt, with the mission of providing a premier Nordic linked placement agent that combines a high-touch approach and deep rooted investor access. I bring experience from working in London, Stockholm, and Frankfurt with firms such as Merrill Lynch, Handelsbanken, and leading global placement agents 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.
