EQT, one of Europe's largest listed private markets firms, has named Gustav Segerberg as its new Chief Financial Officer, effective July 18, 2026. Segerberg succeeds Kim Henriksson, who departs after nearly eight years but will remain as a Senior Advisor. The leadership change comes at a pivotal moment for the Stockholm-based investment firm as it navigates shifting market dynamics in private equity.

Segerberg represents a continuity of leadership at EQT, having spent the past decade in various senior roles. Most recently serving as Head of the CEO Office and a member of the Executive Committee since 2022, he has overseen some of the firm's most significant acquisitions, including the transformative combinations with Baring Private Equity Asia, Exeter Property Group, and Coller Capital. His hands-on experience with these deals positions him well to manage the firm's financial strategy.

The appointment reinforces EQT's focus on maintaining strategic stability during a period of significant market evolution. With Segerberg's deep experience in deal execution and financial oversight, the firm appears positioned to continue its expansion strategy in private markets while preserving the institutional knowledge Henriksson developed during his nearly eight-year tenure at the helm.
