Previously, during the Alder ownership I was in the board of Rail & Road Protec GmbH as well as responsible for the portfolio company Dinair, sold 2016 to the Daikin Ltd. owned company American Air Filters and Gasmet Oy, sold 2019 to Nederman. I have experience as consultant and advisor to both private and institutional investors in the environmental technology sector. Prior to Alder, I was Professor and Head of one of the larger Nordic research institutions within Applied Environmental Sciences at Stockholm University. In parallel, I worked as an advisor and consultant within this field for several Nordic industries as well as for national and international R&D organizations and authorities. I was also national expert in EU Framework Programs for Research and Innovation in the evaluation of partnerships between academia and SMEs in e.g. environmental science and technology. Alder is a private equity firm that creates opportunities for Nordic companies in the sustainable technology sector to accelerate growth, strategic development and geographic expansion. Alder's role as an active owner is to besides adding capital, contribute with our expertise and wide network of industrialists and experts to strengthen the board and provide strategic advice. Alder invests primarily in established Nordic companies, but also seeks investment opportunities in other parts of Europe. ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) - i.e. taking responsibility for the company's impact on its environment and stakeholders - is a well-integrated part in Alder's investment strategy and continuous work of supporting and developing our portfolio companies. We strongly believe that increased focus on sustainability and resource efficiency has a clear link to financial as well as competitive advantages on the market. Show less
