International executive search and consulting firm Kennedy Executive announced that it has partnered with Human Assets Consulting Group AS in Norway to help expand its presence in Northern Europe.

Human Assets Consulting Group AS is a boutique executive search firm founded in 2015 by Petter Berg, Truls Mo and Haakon Heskja.

“We have a strong focus on finance, industrial and technology and have worked for both Fortune 500 companies as well as smaller clients, Mo said. “In addition to identifying talent for senior leadership positions, we offer board evaluation and composition, advisory and leadership consulting. Combining our vast experience with Kennedys global footprint, will create exciting opportunities. We have found the same values and approach with Kennedy Executive Search & Consulting.”

“Norway is experiencing a game changing digital shift in all industries,” Heskja said. “Human Assets Consulting has served numerous clients, developing their digital organisations and securing world leading digital talents. Now we can provide this insight and expertise to clients of other Kennedy Executive partners, and at the same time secure access to even more digital talents for our Norwegian clients. We believe that being able to offer this international footprint and expertise adds substantial value for clients.”

Jorg Stegemann, CEO of Kennedy, added that it was crucial for his group to establish a presence in Norway.

“With Human Assets Consulting, we have found the right partner,” Stegemann said. “With DNA Headhunting in Copenhagen and Kennedys Monaco colleague Caroline Frisenberg being Swedish, we are now able to cover the entire region,” Stegemann said. “At least three of our partners in Oslo and Copenhagen have held regional leadership roles all over Scandinavia which gives us a deep understanding of how Scandinavia ticks. We speak the languages and have run searches all over the region. This makes us a preferred partner for strategic recruitments anywhere in Scandinavia.”

Kennedy Executive Search & Consulting is a partner network of executive search boutique firms. With HA Consulting joining the network, Kennedy Executive Search & Consulting is present on 2 continents, in 11 countries and has over 50 consultants.
