William Blair adds to private equity team

Tuesday, September 23, 2025
Opalesque Industry Update - William Blair announced today the expansion of the firm's private equity coverage in the Nordics with the addition of Daniel Nilsson as managing director in the firm's Financial Sponsors Group. Based in Stockholm, Daniel will focus on delivering integrated advisory services to private equity clients in the region.

"Daniel represents the latest in recent strategic additions by William Blair in Europe as we work to further expand our investor coverage across the continent," said Stewart Licudi, head of European Investment Banking at William Blair. "With a deep commitment to fostering a culture of success and an exceptional track record of high-touch client service, Daniel will be a valuable asset to our clients in the Nordics and around the world."

With more than 20 years of experience advising private equity firms, other financial sponsors, and corporates across the Nordic region and Europe, Daniel has held senior roles at Morgan Stanley in Stockholm and Goldman Sachs in London, and most recently was a partner at ABG Sundal Collier. He earned an M.Sc. in finance from the Stockholm School of Economics.

"I am excited to join William Blair's Financial Sponsors Group and support its expanding coverage throughout Europe," Nilsson said. "William Blair has a strong reputation for its holistic investment banking model that aligns deep sector expertise and global geographic reach with M&A, capital-raising and strategic advisory capabilities to provide tailored advice and solutions."

Daniel's addition follows the London hirings earlier this year of Delaney Brown as a senior director on the Private Capital Advisory team and Tim-Oliver Seidel to lead William Blair's European secondaries team.
