# Nordic Executive List

> Nordic Executive List (NEL) monitors the career pages of 97 executive search firms across Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland every morning (count as of July 2026) and aggregates their published executive roles — CEO/VD, CFO, COO, board and interim positions — into one daily feed and email digest. Most Nordic executive roles are placed through headhunters and never appear on public job boards; NEL makes that hidden market visible.

Key facts: founded 2026, based in Sweden. Passwordless subscription service (199 SEK/month after trial) for executives tracking the Nordic leadership market. Proprietary data: daily job-market telemetry across ~97 tracked firms and an anonymised compensation dataset of 395 Nordic executives (updated July 2026).
