Background

About Sofia Wahlund

I have been working on the capital market in one way or another since 2008. With broad experience in debt capital markets, both as sales, issuer and as an investor – I have an unique position in having been on “all sides” of the market. I have in my years as a debt manager worked both in the Swedish as well as the European bond market issuing bonds in EUR (bench), SEK, NOK, and USD as well as shorter SEK, USD and EUR commercial papers. Alongside my debt portfolios, I have worked extensively with derivatives such as Interest Rate Swaps, Cross Currency swaps and FX swaps - hence, I also know my way around the FX-market and hedging currency exposures. As an investor av worked primarily in the SEK market, investing in papers ranging from to unrated. I've also worked in the NOK, EUR, USD and DKK market as well. In the past I've worked both in municipal and bank treasuries (and I have a solid knowledge of regulatory and capital requirements for banks) and am now working at a corporate treasury. Besides funding and asset management I also have a broad experience in cash management and working with internal banks. The years working in various treasuries have given me the opportunity to build relationships with speaking partners in both Swedish and international banks and on the capital market in general. In a lot of my roles I’ve had a team leader or senior position, and working as a ”natural leader” comes easy to me. I believe that sharing knowledge, clear communication and helping each other to succeed is the key to a well working and successful team.
