Prior to Verdane, Vinther-Antonsen worked at Silver Lake and Svanholm was an analyst within Morgan Stanley's investment banking division. Hanna Skärblom will be joining Verdane's IR team from EY.
Previous key hires in 2021 include Erik Osmundsen, who joined Verdane's partner group in 2021 from Norsk Gjenvinning.
Verdane is currently investing in northern Europe from Edda II, its EUR 540m fund, and Verdane Capital X, its SEK 6bn fund.
