Greek-American director intrigued by Nordic asset management culture

Storebrand AM's Director of International Clients Spiros Alan Stathacopoulos got a bit of a culture shock when he started working alongside Norwegians who love to eat mackerel in tomato sauce for lunch. AMWatch talked to him about the cultural differences he encountered upon moving to the Norwegian capital more than a decade ago.
Norwegians are obsessed with eating their “matpakke” [lunch box] at their desk. Or they go to the canteen and order two slices of bread and then they eat their own "makrell i tomat" [mackerel in tomato sauce], says Spiros Alan Stathacopoulos. | Photo: Karl Ragnar Gjertsen
