Fredrik Fexe, CEO of Nabo and Emil Lundström, CEO of SBC
What’s your reason for joining Odevo?
Emil: The thing that most resonated with me was a shared vision of the future. We want to change this industry, using technology and AI to build solutions that make a difference in everyday life, for residents, boards, and property managers alike. Not as a side initiative, but as a core part of how we develop new services, raise quality, and create a better experience.
You represent two different companies within Odevo in Sweden. How would you describe your respective roles?
Fredrik: Sweden is where Odevo started and now operates through Nabo and SBC. Both companies are fast-moving and innovative, driving the industry forward with technology-enabled services. However, there are also some differences. Nabo is the younger challenger, whereas SBC brings over 100 years of experience as the market leader in residential property management. Operating side by side, offering solutions to clients across Sweden, we are living proof that ambitious companies of all kinds can fit within Odevo.
You’ve expanded into value-added services. Can you give some examples?
Emil: By leveraging our collective purchasing power across many clients at once, we’ve created innovative value-adding offerings, including preferential rates on transaction accounts, loans, insurance premiums, electricity, broadband, as well as ongoing operational and maintenance costs.
Tell us about the culture and the people?
Fredrik: We look for people with a strong inner drive, individuals who want to make a real difference for Swedish homeowner associations and everyone living there. That mindset runs through how we lead and develop our teams. We have a clear leadership framework across our companies and work actively with career development at every level. This creates real opportunities for internal movement, with people stepping into new roles within Odevo’s shared services or moving between Nabo and SBC.
Looking ahead, what excites you most about the future?
Emil: The number of new opportunities still amazes me. Technology will continue to be a major driver everywhere, not only by simplifying operations but also by freeing up time for more hands-on, value-creating interactions with clients. The opportunity to work smarter with our data allows us to offer new services or procurement opportunities, expanding the service ecosystem around boards and homeowners.
And finally, is there room for others to join?
Fredrik: Absolutely. We are always on the lookout for skilled people and ambitious companies to join us. We strongly believe in partnership, shared growth, and the ability to push forward.
