Permian Expands Leadership with Two Key Promotions

October 4, 2024

Permian is thrilled to announce the promotion of Fredric Olsson and Christian Mannesson to Director positions, further strengthening the leadership team and reinforcing a commitment to excellence. Fredric will assume the role as Technical Director within Fund operations, while Christian takes on the position of Director within Fund administration.

“These are two well-deserved promotions, and we are thrilled to have these two experienced and knowledgeable leaders in our organization. With the valuable contributions Fredric and Christian make every day at Permian, we continue to build on the solid organization we have with high quality deliveries and exceptional client service. I am looking forward to our future journey at Permian and together with strong key players continue to grow and succeed even further,” says Johanna Bjenne, interim CEO of Permian Administration AB.

 

Permian has experienced significant growth in recent years, with a strong presence across Oslo and Stockholm, employing over 110 people. These promotions come at a time when operations are scaling, and service offerings are expanding. Both Fredric and Christian will play key roles in that journey.

 

Fredric joined Permian in 2019, bringing six years of experience in auditing from KPMG, working both in Stockholm and Luxembourg. Holding a master’s degree in accounting and auditing from Stockholm University, Fredric's extensive knowledge in accounting has made a notable impact during his tenure.

 

“It is a great pleasure to be part of Permian’s amazing journey. When I joined Permian, November 2019, we were less than ten employees at the Stockholm office. Now, five years later, we are close to sixty and continue to look for new colleagues to join and bring their expertise," says Fredric.

 

He continues: ”In my new role, I will have a great opportunity to further develop and improve Permian’s operations. Accuracy and precision are extremely important to me and Permian, and I’ll do my best to ensure the highest quality in Permian client deliveries. I want to thank Permian for this opportunity."

 

Christian became part of the Fund Administration team in 2020, following more than six years as a manager at Deloitte and two years at Klarna. His contributions have been pivotal in developing Permian’s Fund Administration department, working closely with clients to ensure efficient management of their fund portfolios.

 

“Since I joined Permian four years ago, our business grown tremendously, and it has been a pleasure to be part of this amazing journey. With that said, I believe that this is just the beginning of Permian’s endeavours and I’m even more excited of what opportunities that lie ahead in the Nordics and across Europe with our new majority owner, Telemos Capital,” says Christian.

 

Permian extends heartfelt congratulations to Fredric and Christian on their well-deserved promotions. Their expertise and leadership will be instrumental in driving the company's continued growth and innovation. These appointments mark a significant step in strengthening Permian’s position as a leader in the industry, with both directors set to lead their teams toward new achievements and milestones.
