Frithjof Norman Lund

Frithjof is a senior partner in McKinsey’s Oslo office. He leads McKinsey’s Private Capital practice in the Nordics, and McKinsey’s global service line helping CEOs and boards of directors improve corporate governance.

With a focus on strategy, transformation and governance for PE portfolio companies and within resources intensive industries, Frithjof advises executives on how to develop winning strategies in the current technological and geopolitical landscape, accelerate transformational change and put in place better governance.

For example, Frithjof has, over the course of a multi-year advisory relationship, helped a leading technology company shape a new strategic direction, redesign their organizational structure and corporate governance processes and accelerate strategy delivery – enabling the company to massively outperform their peers in the subsequent years. As part of another advisory relationship, Frithjof supported the transformation of a Private Equity backed portfolio company, helping assess the ‘Full Potential’ of the company, architect the transformation program, establish required performance management and accelerate value capture - enabling them to quadruple in value over 5 years.

To strengthen McKinsey’s advisory within corporate governance, Frithjof in 2013 led the establishment of McKinsey Board Services, a service line he currently co-leads globally. In this role, he has helped direct multiple board- and governance-related engagements, as well as McKinsey’s global surveys of governance best practices.

Frithjof speaks frequently on the topics of board governance and transformational change in the age of AI, both in Norway and internationally.
