EQT announces changes to the Executive Committee
Veteran EQT partner James Yu appointed to EQT's Executive Committee as Head of Client Relations and Capital Raising - overseeing EQT's client relations, capital raising and capital markets teams - as part of an introduction of a more agile and simplified operating model.
Chief Commercial Officer Suzanne Donohoe, Bahare Haghshenas, Head of Sustainable Transformation, and Ricardo Reyes, Head of Communications & External Affairs, have decided to step off the Executive Committee and will leave EQT.
STOCKHOLM, June 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- EQT has today announced the appointment of James Yu, who joined EQT in 2013 and most recently served as Global Head of EQT Capital Markets, as Head of Client Relations and Capital Raising. The role brings together responsibility for two of EQT's key client facing teams – Client Relations & Capital Raising and Debt & Equity Capital Markets – as part of EQT's drive to constantly refine and strengthen its operating model.
Yu will be the eighth member of EQT's Executive Committee, alongside CEO Per Franzén; Christina Drews, COO; Kim Henriksson, CFO; Gustav Segerberg, Head of Business Development and CEO Office; Jean Salata, Asia Chairperson and Head of Private Capital Asia; Lennart Blecher, Deputy Managing Partner and Chairperson of Real Assets; and Masoud Homayoun, Head of Infrastructure.
Chief Commercial Officer Suzanne Donohoe, along with Bahare Haghshenas, Head of Sustainable Transformation, and Ricardo Reyes, Head of Communications & External Affairs, have stepped off the Executive Committee. Donohoe will remain involved to support select private wealth initiatives while Haghshenas will depart EQT later this year after a transition period. EQT's sustainability expertise remains a critical part of EQT's futureproofing capabilities and – going forward – will be even more closely integrated across the firm's investment strategies and operations.
"EQT is always looking to stay ahead of the curve. The changes to the Executive Committee reflect a simplified operational model, putting us in an even stronger position to continue to deliver for our clients in today's market," said CEO and Managing Partner Per Franzén. "I'm excited to welcome James Yu to the Executive Committee. In this new role, Jim will lead our efforts towards a seamless client offering through closer collaboration across the EQT platform. By merging the client relations and capital market teams, we will be in a better position to drive further innovation at the intersection of capital raising and capital markets. I warmly thank Suzanne, Bahare and Ricardo for their contributions to EQT's growth journey to date and wish them all the best."

New JAMES BOND Game From IO Interactive Officially Titled 007 FIRST LIGHT — GeekTyrant
IO Interactive has revealed the official title for its highly anticipated standalone original James Bond video game, 007 First Light . The announcement was accompanied by a teaser image, with the official reveal of the game set to take place this week. The game will feature "a wholly original Bond story," which is said to put players "into the shoes of the world's favorite Secret Agent to earn their 00 status in the very first James Bond origin story." IO Interactive CEO and co-owner Hakan Abrak previously discussed the game and he revealed that they won't be using the likeness of any actor who has portrayed 007 in the past. He goes on to confirm that the creative team will also be creating a completely new story for their original version of Bond. He explained: "It's important to mention: doing a licensed game is new to us. We've only done our own, original IPs (intellectual property), right? We've created these characters... ourselves, from scratch. 'So, I think for us to really embrace this fully, and really, as I said before, we don't like to work 'mechanical.' It's not just because it's a big IP, or it's a licensed game, and commercially this is interesting... It means nothing to us. We've taken a lot of non-commercial risks before. 'So, for us, it's about... we need to feel it, deep inside. The passion needs to be there, so it was very important for us that it wasn't a movie adaptation. So, it wasn't a game about... a specific movie, where the story has already been told." "It's very important that we could create a digital Bond. A Bond for the gaming industry... So it's a completely original story. This felt really, really important for us and we conveyed that to [James Bond owner] EON and they agreed that the result would probably be better doing it like that. "There's always excitement around a new Bond. It's amazing, what they have done with the franchise over the years. Every Bond kind of defines a generation and it's amazing how they kept reinventing themselves over so many years. So, we're not only inspired by one movie, or games and whatnot. 'We're inspired by the whole thing, and just sucking things into us to make an original Bond, an original story, but that is absolutely true and recognizable in the values there is in Bond. I'm really looking forward to creating a new community that the gamers can call their own." I'm looking forward to seeing what this game will entail, and we'll learn more soon!
