Helle Nordved

Helle joined Novo Holdings in May 2025 as Senior Manager, Talent Attraction in the People & Organisation team.
She partners closely with hiring managers to lead end-to-end recruitment and shape proactive talent strategies. She also supports portfolio companies on talent attraction topics, including executive search and critical leadership hiring.

Before joining Novo Holdings, Helle built and led the global executive search function at LEO Pharma, acting as an advisor and sparring partner to the global leadership team and driving executive searches for VP-level and above roles. This was part of the company’s broader transformation into a more innovative and M&A-focused organization, preparing for a future IPO. Earlier, she worked as an external headhunter for C25 companies, particularly Life Sciences, and held leadership and account management roles at Oracle and SAP.

Helle holds an MSc in Marketing Management from Aarhus University.
