Per-Olov Bergström to Join Rothschild as a Managing Director and Head of Rothschild Nordic

STOCKHOLM, September 14, 2010 – Rothschild announced today that Per-Olov Bergström will join the firm as a Managing Director and Head of Rothschild Nordic.  Mr. Bergström, who will be based in Stockholm, is joining Rothschild effective 15 November, 2010 from Handelsbanken in Stockholm, where he was Head of Corporate Finance.  His appointment follows James Vaux’s decision last year to retire and pursue broader interests, following a successful 20 year career at Rothschild. We are delighted that Mr Vaux will remain as a consultant to the Group.

Rothschild is one of the leading advisory firms in the Nordic region having advised on some of the largest transactions in the region in recent years.  Mr. Bergström will work closely with Henrik Ljungberg who is moving as a Managing Director to Stockholm from London.  The Rothschild Nordic team includes two eminent Senior Advisors, Hans-Olov Olsson, who is also Deputy Chairman of Geely-owned Volvo Cars; and Ulf Sundqvist, a former Finnish Government Minister.

Pehr G Gyllenhammar, Chairman of Rothschild Nordic said “We are delighted Per-Olov has decided to join us.  Mr Bergstrom’s appointment will help to further expand our successful business in the Nordic Region.  With his wealth of experience, together with Henrik Ljungberg, he will further strengthen our global network and help us deliver expert, trusted advice”.
