Tomas Liljeborg, CEO of Macrobond, commented:
The need for data and analytics to interpret global macroeconomic trends in order to make more informed decisions [and react to market events] has never been greater. As a result, we have seen increasing demand for our capabilities globally, with customers using our platform as a single source of truth across their organisations.
With around 200 customers in the Nordic region, Macrobond serves banks and asset managers, as well as government institutions, non-profit organisations and universities in Iceland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway. Almost half of the customers are based in Sweden.
The new office in Stockholm is the seventh global location of the company with offices already operating in London, New York, Hong Kong, Lisbon, Szeczin and Malmö.
Liljebord added:
I’m incredibly proud to announce the opening of our new office in Stockholm. A second office in Sweden is a natural expansion for us; it enables us to better serve our growing customer base across the Nordic region. This is an exciting time for our business and a clear testament to the relevance of our solution for today’s financial professionals.
The new office in Stockholm follows the recent appointment of Howard Rees as Chief Commercial Officer. Rees joined Macrobond earlier this year to deliver on the firm’s global growth plans to make macroeconomic intelligence more widely available for finance professionals.
