ROYC AB appoints Peter Bergenwald as Chief Information Officer to Lead the Next Phase of Growth

Stockholm, September 17th — ROYC Europe’s leading platform provider for private market investments, is excited to announce the appointment of Peter Bergenwald as the company’s Chief Information Officer (CIO).

With a distinguished career in fintech and technology, Peter will be instrumental in driving ROYC’s next chapter of growth and innovation, particularly as the company expands its B2B enterprise solutions for private equity General Partners (GPs) and distribution partners within private markets.
Peter brings over 25 years of experience in leading high-performing teams and advancing technology at some of the world’s most dynamic financial institutions.

Before joining ROYC, Peter led engineering in Klarna’s global payment methods organization, famously known for its AI enhanced Buy-Now-Pay-Later solution. He also led the development and rollout of streamlined, event-based P&L and balance sheet management for over 550 thousand partners globally as well as a private credit SPV for capital cost optimization. Peter’s experience at Klarna aligns closely with ROYC’s vision for the future of private equity fund life cycle management and data-driven support for both private equity General Partners and financial intermediaries such as banks, wealth managers, and multi-family offices.

Prior to his tenure at Klarna, Peter made significant contributions at Nasdaq, where he served in various roles ranging from technical solutions architect, business analyst to development manager. Notably, Peter led the launch of the INET trading platform for Nasdaq Nordic Markets, replacing the entire legacy platform. Additionally, he served as the lead architect for Nasdaq’s Central Security Depository Solution, further underscoring his expertise in building robust, scalable technology platforms.

“We are thrilled to welcome Peter to the ROYC family,” said Mathias Leijon, Founder and President of ROYC. “His extensive experience in the fintech industry, particularly in scaling technology platforms and leading talented teams, perfectly aligns with our vision as we take the next step in our journey. Peter will be instrumental in helping us achieve our ambitious goals, especially as we expand our B2B enterprise solutions for private markets.”

Expressing his enthusiasm for the new role, Peter said, “ROYC represents a truly unique opportunity to leverage my experience in a market with enormous potential. My work over the last 15 years is highly relevant to what ROYC aims to achieve. The people, the technology, and the ambition here are exactly what I’m passionate about. I’m confident that together, we can build something great, benefiting the entire ecosystem and providing a broader audience with the tools to better manage their wealth in a cost-efficient way.”
Outside of his professional achievements, Peter is an avid sports enthusiast, enjoying tennis, running, and sailing.

With this strategic appointment, ROYC positions itself to accelerate its growth in 2025 and continue its mission to innovate and lead the enterprise solution offering for private market investments.
