Financial Services & Real Estate

Today’s business environment in Sweden with low interest rates and high economic activity, requires leaders who can understand and execute on the opportunities that are present while at the same time prepare for what might come.

The Partners at Amrop Sweden has extensive experience from executive search within Financial Services and Real Estate. They also have personal experience from working at banks and real estate companies during periods of both high and low economic activity, as well as rising and falling interest rates. The combination of both personal understanding of the industries and the executive search experience gives Amrop a profound understanding of what is needed from top executives today and going forward.

During the years Amrop Sweden has gained valuable experiences in recruiting executives to leading positions in Financial Services, Real Estate and Private Equity companies.

Amrop Sweden has experience from conducting recruitments within almost every sector, function and ownership structure in the Real estate industry. Amrop Sweden has been part of recruiting current CEOs, and in many cases the majority of the executive team, to some of Sweden’s largest and most successful real estate companies.

Amrop Sweden has a similarly strong standing within the Financial Services, having recruited top level executives and senior specialists that have successfully transformed insurance companies, retail and corporate banks as well as international and governmental financial institutions.

Within the Private Equity sector Amrop Sweden has recruited senior executives who have had integral roles in transforming and expanding portfolio companies as well as the investment organisations of the Private Equity companies.

Using our Context Driven approach to executive search, we find the global-level executives that would find themselves at home in New York, London, Zurich or Singapore, who, at the same time, are an ideal fit for our clients' local requirements / local context. We help inform candidates about our clients' firms, building a comfort level in this crisis environment, and work with you to set expectations and shape the opportunity.

Working closely with our clients, we can help set the foundation for growth that will inevitably follow the end of this particular part of the business and economic cycle.
