Executive search
in Norway.
Identify and engage the leaders your business needs next. We help boards, CEOs and owners turn a business priority into a focused search and an informed appointment.
Find the right leader for what comes next
The right leader depends on what your business needs to achieve. Growth, succession, operational improvement and integration can require different experience, capabilities and leadership styles.
We work with you to define the mandate, identify the most relevant leadership backgrounds and approach suitable candidates directly. We look beyond titles and CVs to understand what each candidate has achieved—and how their experience can help your business achieve its goals.

For international groups and private equity owners.
A Norwegian leadership appointment needs to connect your ownership priorities with local execution. We help frame the search around what the leader must deliver, how the role works with headquarters and the board, and the organisation the person will inherit.
That may mean a country manager establishing a local operation, a CEO leading the next stage of growth, or a functional leader strengthening the management team.
Experienced people behind the search.
Bjørn Alsterberg brings more than two decades of experience in recruitment, investment and leading consulting businesses. Stian Haugland brings more than 25 years in shipping and oil and gas, including senior HR and organisational development roles.
A considered approach to confidentiality.
For a sensitive appointment, we agree what can be shared, with whom and at which stage. Candidate outreach must respect both your situation and the person’s current responsibilities.
For other management and specialist hires, see our recruitment service.
