ACCENDO CAPITAL
Activist investor in listed Northern European companies
“All my working life, I have been creating value through
active ownership. Initially in private equity, later in angel
investing and corporate finance, and since 2007 as the
founder of Accendo Capital.
Accendo philosophy
There are enormous opportunities to increase shareholder value in
listed companies. Far too many companies focus on the formalities of
corporate governance, use executive nominations as means of
securing or repaying favors, and replace real strategic thinking with an
over-emphasis on explaining risks.” - Henri Österlund, Founder
