The CEO manages the work of the management team and makes decisions in consultation with other executive members. The management team holds weekly meetings at which they discuss operational issues. In addition, the team produces a business plan each year which is followed up via monthly reports. In addition to these weekly meetings, most members of the management team meet every day.

The management team is made up of managers of essential business areas within the Nordnet Group.
