The Novare Group has acquired 20% of the shares in the parent company of Finnish Fairchild Executive Search. In connection with the acquisition, Fairchild’s main shareholder, Johan Stierncreutz, becomes a minority shareholder in the Novare Group.
The acquisition aims to deepen the already existing collaboration within Executive Search and enable further business development of Novare’s other operations towards the Finnish market in partnership with Fairchild. Fairchild will remain an independent company and continue to operate under its own brand.
