Ethan Partners was founded by Founder & Partner Ann-Christine Roope in 2013 with the overarching goal of enabling the world’s most promising startups and scaleups to grow through talent acquisition on a global scale. We developed a method to identify, attract and qualify top talents across borders and have used that to help companies grow, internationalize, specialize and improve diversity and performance. CEO and Partner Lars Sødergaard joined the company in 2017 to increase the focus on Northern European markets.

We pride ourselves by having been in the shoes of our clients, as we come from a number of different backgrounds such as Private Equity, Venture Capital, Finance, Marketing, Strategy, Entrepreneurship and more. We know what our clients go through, what they want and how they work. At the same time, we understand what the candidates are going through and what they are looking for. This enables us to attract the absolute best candidates in the market and not only the best available candidates.
