Segulah co-managing partner Henrik Lif departs

"Henrik's departure comes after a discussion in the partner group about the management of the firm," said Segulah co-managing partner Sebastian Ehrnrooth in a statement. "We appreciate Henrik's contribution to Segulah and wish him the best of luck with future endeavors." Ehrnrooth, a 16-year Segulah veteran, will become sole managing partner following Lif's exit.

At the time of publication, Lif had not made any statements about the situation.

Lif's departure comes just a few months after he helped the GP to a final close of its fifth fund, which he told unquote" he considered to be the first fund of "Segulah 2.0" – a rejigged version of the veteran Swedish buyout house. Following the departure of managing partner Christian Sievert in 2014, the firm had reworked aspects of its structure and strategy, eventually emerging with Segulah V, which closed on SEK 2.4bn. The fund raised less than half of its target and is less than half the size of its SEK 5bn predecessor.

Having joined in 2014, Lif took the reins of the firm alongside Sebastian Ehrnrooth in the summer of 2015 from founder and interim managing partner Gabriel Urwitz, who had returned as head of the firm after his successor Sievert left in 2014.

The partner group consisting of Ehrnrooth, Percy Calissendorff, Marcus Planting-Bergloo, Erik Thornell, Håkan Dahlin and Urwitz will share Lif's responsibilities.

Prior to joining Segulah, Lif's career included stints as CEO of CPS Colour Group in Finland, director at Nordic Capital and management consultant at Arthur D Little.
