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 3 features EQT's Lennart Blecher.\nLennart Blecher joined EQT Partners in April 2007 and is the Chairperson of EQT Real Assets.\nLennart holds a Master of Law degree from the University of Lund, Sweden and has studied at the University of Dallas, Texas - Academy of US & International Law.\nPrior to joining EQT Partners, Lennart was from 2004 to 2007 Managing Director and Senior Banker in the investment bank of Unicredit/HypoVereinsbank in Munich.
