About North-East Family Office: The single-family office of the Liljeborg and Enevoldsen family
North-East Family Office is a single-family office headquartered in Hellerup, Denmark, and was established in 2013 in Copenhagen by Winnie Liljeborg and Per Algot Enevoldsen, the founders of the global jewelry brand Pandora. Pandora was founded in 1982 when Per Enevoldsen, a Danish goldsmith, and Winnie Liljeborg opened a small jewelry shop in Copenhagen, initially importing pieces from Thailand before shifting to wholesale in 1987 and establishing in-house manufacturing in Thailand in 1989. The company introduced its signature charm bracelet concept in 2000, which drove rapid international expansion; Danish private equity firm Axcel acquired a 60% stake in 2008, and Pandora was subsequently listed on the Nasdaq Copenhagen stock exchange in 2010. Today, North-East Family Office is owned by Winnie Liljeborg and her son Christian Algot Enevoldsen, and also serves a number of additional client families. The office operates an asset management subsidiary, North-East Asset Management, registered with the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority, as well as a Singapore-based office through North-East Family Office Singapore Pte. Ltd. The family office’s stated purpose is to assist the families it serves in preserving their material and ethical values across generations.
