Finserve Global Security Fund strengthens Advisory Board – space and defense expert Stefan Gustafsson joins

Stockholm, March 13, 2026

Finserve Global Security Fund today announces that space and defense expert Stefan Gustafsson has joined the fund’s Advisory Board. With a background in the Swedish Armed Forces, the defense industry and the international space sector, he brings significant strategic expertise to the fund’s continued development within defense, space and cybersecurity.

Stefan Gustafsson was Chief Strategist at Swedish Space Corporation (SSC) between 2013 and 2024, where he led the development and positioning of the company's advanced space services in the global market. He also has a long background in the Swedish Armed Forces, where he has been Head of Strategic Analysis and Naval Operations. During his career, Gustafsson has worked closely with both American and European defense structures as well as with security and industrial issues. He is also educated at the US Naval Command College, one of the USA's most prestigious international education programs for senior officers.

In addition to his operational background, Gustafsson has an extensive track record of board work in both public and national business organizations within the space, defense and aerospace industries. He currently holds several board and advisory positions in technology, defense and space companies, including ECAPS, Ovzon, Frontgrade Gaisler and Frost Unmanned.

He is also active in several academies related to defense and technology. Gustafsson is vice-chairman of the Royal Swedish Naval Officers' Society (KÖMS) and a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of War Sciences. He is also elected to the French Académie de l'air et de l'espace, one of Europe's leading academies in aerospace science.

“Stefan has a unique combination of military background, industrial experience and strategic insight into maritime security and the rapidly growing international space sector. His global perspective gives us additional cutting-edge capabilities to analyze companies, estimate defense investments and technological trends within our investment sectors,” says Karl Engelbrektson, Head of Advisory Board and former Army Chief.

Finserve Global Security Fund invests in companies within defense, space and cybersecurity – three sectors that have become increasingly central in line with increased geopolitical tensions and accelerating technological development. Access to deep industry expertise is therefore an important part of the fund's investment process.

“Space is an increasingly important defense domain where both Europe and major countries in the Pacific region are expected to make significant investments in their own capacity and capabilities. Stefan’s experience from both the space industry and the defense sector strengthens our understanding of how technological shifts and security policy changes affect companies in the sector and helps us further align the fund’s exposure within our core areas,” says Joakim Agerback, responsible manager of Finserve Global Security Fund.
