Ebba Thörnblad

Graduate in Credit Risk Stress Testing & Simulation, Stockholm

Being part of something bigger
An important driver for me is the feeling of being part of something bigger and contributing to a better society, which is why I enjoy working at Nordea. As the leading bank in the Nordics, Nordea plays a big part in keeping the financial system stable, which in the end affects the quality of life of the people living here.
