Investment in the Nordic financial services sector

The financial services sector is a core focus for Valcon across Europe. We have a strong focus and dedication to the industry and are now expanding our practice in the Nordics. To lead this endeavour, we have made strategic new hires, reflecting our commitment to strengthening our presence and capabilities in the Nordic financial services sector.

At Valcon, we have a rich history of transformation work in the financial services industry, particularly in operational improvement, compliance, data and digitalisation. Our expertise lies in remediating operational issues, ensuring compliance with ongoing legislation and modernising digital foundations for our clients.

With a team of approximately 2,000 skilled professionals spread across Europe, including 500 experts exclusively dedicated to financial services, we have the depth and breadth of knowledge to address the unique challenges faced by our clients in this industry.

We take great pride in our commitment to the Nordic financial services sector, and as part of our ongoing investment, we are proud to introduce a valuable addition to our team: Thomas Erichsen. With a distinguished background as an executive leader in prominent Danish companies, most recently as the EVP of Topdanmark, Thomas brings a wealth of experience and strategic industry insight. As our new partner and head of the financial services practice in Valcon Nordics, Thomas will be responsible for leading Valcon’s strategic advancement in the financial services sector in the Nordic region.

Geert van den Goor, Group CEO of Valcon, commented: “The strategic addition of Thomas underscores our dedication to fortifying our position and expanding our capabilities within the Nordic financial services sector. With a distinguished background as an executive leader in prominent Danish companies, Thomas brings a wealth of experience and expertise in strategic and operational oversight of IT, technology, and development. His unique skill set positions him perfectly to spearhead Valcon’s strategic advancement in the financial services sector across the Nordic region.”

In addition to Thomas, we are delighted to announce that Bjørn Büchmann-Slorup and Trine Baun will also be joining the team, bringing their profound industry insights.
