Rise to Success

In 2015, Nielsen sold a 66% stake in NAC to private equity firms EQT and Kirkbi in a deal that valued the firm at $3.3 billion. He later brought on Singaporean sovereign wealth fund GIC as an investor and, in 2022, sold the last of his shares in NAC.

Key Business Strategies

Nielsen's key strategy was building Nordic Aviation Capital into a leading regional aircraft leasing company.
