SWEDEN - Altor appoints head of financing

Bierke's primary focus at Altor will be to streamline and improve the efficiency of portfolio company financing, as well as provide advice on potential debt investments, primarily with an aim to obtain equity control. Altor's third fund, which closed on EUR 2bn in August this year, allows for these types of transactions in its mandate.

Bierke comes from the position of local head of Acquisition Finance at SEB in Stockholm, a department he co-founded in 1996. In his 13 years at SEB, Bierke gained specialist experience in mezzanine and LBO transactions across regions, as well as thorough knowledge of debt capital markets. In recent years, Bierke worked closely with Altor on the financing of Aco, Lindorff, Helly Hansen and PIAB among other deals. His work experience prior to Altor and SEB includes areas such as corporate finance and debt origination as well as derivatives and equity analysis and sales.
