About us

Come for the performance and stay for the meaningful impact.

Our story

The Credo success story goes back more than two decades. We began as a consulting and management-for-hire firm, focused on business turnarounds. In 2012, we evolved into an investment firm, leveraging our deep operational expertise to support founder- and family-owned businesses.

Today, we remain committed to scaling mid-sized Nordics-based companies, turning them into market leaders through a hands-on, partnership-driven approach. A winning formula that benefits both founders and investment partners.

What could we achieve together by connecting
the dots others haven’t
seen yet?

Our operational DNA is rooted in a hands-on approach, focusing on building strong foundations before scaling fast. It’s not just about investing capital; we bring the right people together, optimize structures, and craft tailored growth strategies. If you can transform and grow, you get high returns and long-term impact.

Overall numbers

19 platforms, 70 add-ons, 7 successful exits and counting. We’ve honed our ability to transform small caps into scalable, high-growth businesses.

Meet our team

The Credo team is a diverse group of ambitious and caring professionals. We share a balanced mix of backgrounds from top-tier institutions, including industrials, consulting, and investment banking. New talents are drawn to us for the opportunity to learn directly from experienced CEOs rather than senior associates, which really sets us apart in the industry.
