Finance Connect Podcast: Peter Englev
Peter Englev, one of the Nordic region’s most experienced leasing and equipment finance executives, joins Richard O'Donohue to explore why international lenders and vendors often underestimate the complexity of the Nordic equipment finance market.

Drawing on more than 35 years' experience across Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland, Peter explains why success in the Nordic region requires a localised approach.
Although often seen as one market, the Nordics comprise distinct countries with different cultures, languages, regulations, currencies and business practices.
Understanding these differences, Peter explains, is essential for organisations looking to expand successfully into the region.
Highlights from the discussion include:
- Leasing penetration across transportation, construction and agriculture
- The region's world-leading digitalisation
- The role of government support in accelerating electrification
- Key lessons for international lenders, lessors and vendors looking to expand into the region
Peter also shares practical advice on why local expertise, strong partnerships and market knowledge remain essential for success.
