CEO and Group Management function

The CEO manages operations within the framework established by the Board. The applicable instruction for the CEO was adopted by the Board on 25 October 2017. The CEO produces the requisite information and decision data prior to Board meetings, presents issues and justifies proposals for decisions.

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 rapid development of the company means that daily contact is a must for management and leadership to function. The management team is made up of managers of essential business areas within the Nordnet Group.

Remuneration issues are prepared by each company’s board or, if applicable, the remuneration committee and later approved by each company’s board of directors. Each company’s board analyses all the risks which the Company is or may be exposed to, including the risks associated with the current remuneration policy.
