(PRESS RELEASE) STOCKHOLM, 8-Jun-2026 — /EuropaWire/ — EQT AB has appointed Gustav Segerberg as its new Chief Financial Officer, effective July 18, 2026. He will succeed Kim Henriksson, who has decided to step down after nearly eight years as CFO and will transition into a Senior Advisor position within EQT.

Segerberg has held several senior roles at EQT over the past decade and has been a member of the Executive Committee since 2022. Most recently, he served as Head of the CEO Office, where he played a key role in supporting the firm’s strategic growth agenda, including major M&A activities and expansion initiatives.

During his time at EQT, Segerberg has been closely involved in some of the firm’s most significant corporate development milestones. These include EQT AB’s combinations with Baring Private Equity Asia, Exeter Property Group and, most recently, Coller Capital, as well as organic growth efforts such as EQT’s expansion into the private wealth market.

EQT Chief Executive Officer Per Franzén said he has worked closely with Segerberg for many years and has strong confidence in his ability to take on the CFO role. He noted that Segerberg’s understanding of EQT’s strategy, business model and stakeholder relationships makes him well suited for the position.

Franzén also thanked Kim Henriksson for his contributions during a transformative period in EQT’s development, highlighting Henriksson’s role in helping the firm grow into a leading global publicly listed private markets company. He said Henriksson’s continued involvement as Senior Advisor will benefit EQT’s portfolio companies, clients and shareholders.

Segerberg said he is honoured to be appointed CFO and looks forward to working with EQT’s team to continue delivering for shareholders. He described EQT as a unique firm with a strong culture, clear strategic vision and significant opportunities ahead, adding that he intends to build on the strong financial foundation established by Henriksson while supporting EQT’s continued growth.

Henriksson has served as CFO since 2018 and has played a central role in developing EQT’s finance function into a professional platform supporting the firm’s growth as a global and transparent publicly listed private markets firm.

As Senior Advisor, Henriksson will support an orderly transition and continue contributing to EQT and its portfolio companies. His new role will focus on strategic support for portfolio company boards, management teams and CFOs, including IPO preparations and public company financial governance.

Henriksson said it has been a privilege to serve as CFO during EQT’s growth journey and expressed confidence that Segerberg will be an outstanding successor. He added that he looks forward to supporting the handover and then working more closely with EQT portfolio companies in his advisory capacity.
