Haakon Blakstad

Haakon's responsibility for company growth breaks down to three things: 1. Client Satisfaction and Retention (ensuring that Validus always puts clients first and delivers the best possible services and technology solutions, 2. Sales and Client Growth (expanding the list of clients and ensuring the entire client base has access to as many solutions as possible), and 3. Product Development (ensuring that Validus remains the leading solutions provider across risk management and fund operations by always innovating and, importantly, listening to clients. They often have the best ideas!). Validus delivers solutions to fund managers so they can optimally facilitate private markets investments. By managing clients’ risks and automating much of their fund operations, clients have more time to focus on investing. Recent and upcoming developments to the award-winning Validus Horizon platform include cutting edge ATE tracking, a Fund Finance Management module, and a groundbreaking Transaction Cost Analysis tool that is purpose-built for private markets.
