Lincoln International, a global investment banking advisory firm, is pleased to announce that Per Strömberg has joined the firm as a Senior Advisor to its Valuations & Opinions Group. Per joins Lincoln International’s global network of academic and industry Senior Advisors who provide independent perspective on valuations, market color and evolving best practices.

The appointment comes as demand for independent valuation support continues to grow across the private markets, including private equity and private credit. In addition, transaction opinions are playing an increasingly important role in sponsor-led activity, including continuation vehicles—an area where Per brings extensive experience and practical knowledge.

“Lincoln International’s valuations practice is a global leader, and as we continue to grow in scale and service areas, Per’s strategic insights will be invaluable,” said Nick Baldwin, Managing Director. “Data-driven strategy and research-backed analysis are ever more crucial in today’s market, and we look forward to collaborating with Per to continue delivering deep insights to our clients.”

He is a research affiliate of the Center for Economic Policy Research (CEPR), a research fellow of the European Corporate Governance Institute (ECGI), a vice president of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, and a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences. Per also serves on the prize committee for the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel.

“This appointment comes at a pivotal time for the private markets,” said Per. “Demand for expert, outsourced valuation advisory and benchmarked market analysis of opaque private markets continues to grow. I am excited to collaborate with the Valuations & Opinions Group to help drive success and innovation.”

In his role, Per will serve on Lincoln International’s Technical Review Committee, offering valuable insight into the firm’s broader valuation processes, techniques and methodologies. He will also sit on several of the firm’s other valuation operating committees, where he will provide strategic insight into the Valuation & Opinions Group’s practices.
