Reflections from Karin Isaksson This week, our Managing Director Karin Isaksson, will say her farewells to NDF and retire in her home country, Sweden. Karin has managed NDF since 2019 and has left her imprint to the organisation. She reflects her journey in a video interview and wishes a successful continuation for NDF and its partners. "We are a small and an agile organisation, and can make a difference by ramping up our operations and further developing the collaboration with our partners. I'm sure that what NDF offers in terms of early-stage catalytic financing is needed now more than ever," she says. |
