OMX has strengthened its Public Affairs Department through the recruitment of Erik Thedéen. Through his contacts in the public and private sectors, he will work to help OMX achieve its goals in improving the efficiency of financial markets. An important part of his work will include ongoing efforts in attaining increased integration of the Nordic securities market.
Erik Thedéen has been a strategist for Nektar at Brummer & Partners since January 1, 2005. Previously, he was the deputy director general at the Swedish National Debt Office, and has also worked at JP Bank and the Swedish Central Bank.
“It’s going to be exciting to work for OMX, which plays such an important role for the finance market in the Nordic countries and in the 60 countries where OMX provides technology to stock markets,” says Erik Thedéen. “My career thus far has been in both government authorities and private companies on the financial market, which I believe is a good foundation for my new position at OMX."
“We welcome Erik to OMX. With Erik Thedéen onboard, we strengthen our capabilities in further developing the financial market’s infrastructure and increasing the understanding of the capital market’s significance to financial growth,” says Magnus Böcker, CEO at OMX.
Erik Thedéen will assume duties during February.
