Petter Fafalios

With 20+ years of experience in executive search, I’ve built my practice on one basic idea: I look for candidates who can lead transformations by setting direction, creating momentum, and challenging established truths. My primary network is Nordic, with global reach via AltoPartners when assignments require it. This combination enables me to discover top candidates others overlook.

Documented experience: - 40+ unique clients over the past 10 years (from scale-ups to publicly listed companies) - 40% repeat clients - 0 complaints in 20 years, despite 12-month guarantee on every placement - Network across 37 countries via AltoPartners – Nordic expertise, global reach

I specialize in recruiting CEOs, CFOs, COOs, and management teams driving turnaround, scaling, or transformation.

In parallel, I deliberately recruit for senior specialist positions – not just to solve today’s needs, but to build networks with young talent who become tomorrow’s leaders. This gives me unique insight into who grows into transformational roles.

I work across industries – from life sciences and tech to industrial and finance – because it’s leadership qualities, not sector, that determine success.
