What Alumni does

Alumni Global is a Stockholm-based executive search and leadership advisory firm founded in 1990, operating as a privately held professional services company. The firm serves enterprise organizations, boards, CEOs, and CHROs across 53+ countries on five continents, with an integrated service portfolio spanning executive search, interim management, leadership assessment, leadership development, board services, and a newer AI Leadership advisory practice. Notable enterprise clients include Scania, Securitas, Vestas, Garmin, Oatly, Stena, Axfood, and Avanza. The firm operates a "One Firm" consulting model where senior consultants are assigned to clients while drawing on collective firm-wide expertise, and reports an NPS of 63 reflecting long-standing client relationships.

The firm's core proprietary technology is the Perspektiv personality assessment tool, originally developed under the legacy PAT Management brand and now operated in-house by chartered psychologists. Perspektiv is described as a comprehensive psychometric instrument that maps candidate strengths, weaknesses, and predicted future behavior across behavioral, motivational, and competency dimensions, and is deployed across search, assessment, and development assignments. The firm also staffs chartered psychologists, functional specialists (IT and tech, life sciences, etc.), and industry verticals (consumer, financial services, healthcare, industrial, etc.), and has recently added an AI Leadership practice addressing how boards and executive teams should lead in an AI-driven environment.

Revenue is generated on a professional services, project-based model. Executive search engagements are retained and tailored to client context; interim management, leadership development, assessment, and board services are similarly project-priced with no publicly disclosed fee schedules. Distribution is exclusively direct enterprise field sales — senior consultants engage boards, owners, and C-suite buyers through consultative relationships, supported by a thought-leadership content engine (Perspectives articles), the Alumni Executive Summit, newsletters, and SEO. Magnus Tegborg serves as CEO and founder; Åza Skoog is Deputy CEO and Managing Director for the Nordics; the firm has no disclosed external funding, parent company, or M&A activity.
