In Stockholm, at EQT’s AIM this past summer, I sat down for conversations with nine EQT executives.\nEach executive came from different parts of the firm — and different parts of the world.\nEach had fascinating backgrounds and stories about how they ended up in private markets and worked to build EQT.\nBut there was a single throughline threaded throughout all of the discussions: the consistency and frequency that each executive talked about the firm’s mission, vision, culture, and values.\nThat’s why it all comes back to the DNA.\nEpisode 1 features EQT Founder and Chairperson Conni Jonsson. \nConni founded EQT Partners AB in 1994. He has been Managing Partner since the company's foundation and as from March 1, 2014, Conni is full time working Chairperson.\nPrior to founding EQT Partners AB, Conni was employed by the Wallenberg Family Holding Company for seven years as Executive Vice President.\nConni Jonsson graduated from the University of Linkoping in 1984, Bachelor of Science with majors in Economic Analysis and Accounting & Finance, and he has participated in the Program for Management Development at the Harvard Business School.\nPlease enjoy this conversation with one of the industry's leaders in Conni Jonsson.\nYou can stream all the episodes on AGM’s YouTube channel at AltGoesMainstreamAGM.\nShow Notes\n \n00:00 The DNA: Capturing Culture Episode 1\n00:21 EQT's Origins and Global Reach\n01:38 Conni Jonsson's Background and Journey\n02:00 Founding EQT: Embracing Uniqueness\n04:03 Balancing Responsibility and Financial Outcomes\n05:09 The Wallenberg Family's Influence\n06:36 Long-Term Thinking in Investing\n07:20 Operationalizing...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/AFAZ1vkAT92lFJtqt-r0HeFQ55KTdcbJHmgKXaMlAtY/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzE5MDA4LzE2MTQ1/Mzk1MDUtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
