JONAS HØJHUS JEPPESEN
MSc in Finance / Employed at Lind Invest since 2013
CFO AT LIND INVEST
As CFO, I am responsible for three teams: Finance & Risk, Trading & Development, and Alternatives, which covers our Private Equity activities.
My role covers a broad range of areas, including financing, risk management, compliance, reporting and strategic development. I am also closely involved in our investment activities and work with our CEO and Investment team on both existing investments and new opportunities.
I also represent Lind Invest in companies where we are an active shareholder, including through board positions in HusCompagniet and Nordic Investment Opportunities.
CAREER ADVANCEMENT AT LIND INVEST
I joined Lind Invest as a student worker in 2013 and was given significant responsibility early in my career. Since then, I have held several roles with increasing responsibilities before becoming CFO.
This reflects how we work at Lind Invest. Roles are not defined by titles alone and develop as the organisation and our activities evolve.
We invest in the development of our employees and believe in “self-awareness above entitlement”. If you are ambitious, willing to develop and take responsibility, you will be given the opportunity to do so.
WORKING AT LIND INVEST
At Lind Invest, we have high professional standards and challenge each other to perform at our best. At the same time, we have an informal working environment with a strong focus on teamwork across the organisation.
As an independent single-family office, we have short decision-making paths. This allows us to act quickly when circumstances change and when new investment opportunities arise.
TORKIL HELGELAND
Computer Scientist / Employed at Lind Invest 2018-2020, and with a comeback in 2021
HEAD OF TRADING & DEVELOPMENT AT LIND INVEST
My responsibilities pertain to the development as well as the daily operations of our internal systems which are mostly within the domain of providing financial business intelligence solutions to our decision makers. More specifically this involves designing and optimising data models as well as building and maintaining internal and external data integrations.
As of recently, I am also responsible for automating and optimising our trading infrastructure which is of course a project that unlocks some great possibilities for future optimisations and synergies across all our systems to make the organisation even more data-driven. However, it is also a project that requires the highest standards for reliability, robustness, and correctness.
Additionally, it is my job to manage and mentor our student developers while challenging them with new technologies and giving them maximal responsibility, for their tasks as well as our solutions as a whole.
I have always had great interest in finance, I even studied Mathematics-Economics for three years before going into Computer Science, and this has given me a broad foundation that helps me bridge the gap between our complex business processes and technology in order to realise the full potential and “challenge above status quo”.
DEVELOPMENT IN LIND INVEST
I first started working at Lind Invest as a Student Software Developer in 2018, and from the first day I was encouraged to work independently and was given responsibility for my own tasks. Throughout my employment, the new challenges have kept coming and I have been able to greatly influence both the direction of my own work and the business domains I have worked within.
Overall, my experiences at Lind Invest have empowered me to consistently take on more responsibility, act vigorously and keep ambitions high for both myself and my co-workers.
WORKING AT LIND INVEST
Lind Invest is an exceptionally agile and dynamic organisation where decisions can become actions with almost no delay and where very few things are set in stone. This makes for an innovative and high-performing environment where the best idea wins and where we meet each other with high expectations every day.
This environment is further facilitated by a great social cohesion across the entire organisation – even though we might work in very different domains professionally we can all still have fun together.
