Holmgaard Management

Holmgaard Management is a Danish executive search and management consultancy founded on 1 April 2007 by Lars H. Linnemann. The company specialises in recruiting directors, C-level executives and board members for owner-led businesses, family-owned enterprises, SMEs, Private Equity funds and their portfolio companies, as well as the public sector and interest organisations. Holmgaard Management distinguishes itself from traditional executive search firms by combining recruitment with strategic management advisory services, challenging assumptions and ensuring recruitment decisions are made on an informed basis. The company works as a trusted adviser rather than a transactional headhunter, with one responsible consultant following each engagement from initial conversation through to onboarding.

Holmgaard Management operates across multiple service areas tailored to client needs. The company offers targeted recruitment and executive search for owner-led SMEs, Private Equity funds and the public sector, identifying leaders at C and D level through a discreet and thorough process. Additional services include interim management, outplacement support for both companies and candidates, career guidance and management sparring for leaders facing difficult decisions or challenges. Through its specialist recruitment division, Holmgaard Management also conducts headhunting for specialists in sales, finance, accounting, technology, IT and marketing, maintaining focus on quality, cultural fit and discretion throughout.

Operating from offices in Copenhagen and Aarhus, Holmgaard Management serves the whole of Denmark and the Nordic region, including Sweden, Norway and Finland, often supporting Scandinavian parent companies and businesses with Nordic subsidiaries. The company's 18 years of experience has generated deep expertise in identifying, assessing and attracting leaders, specialists and board profiles. With a 98 per cent satisfaction rate, 90 per cent customer retention after two years, over 800 successful placements and a 12-month guarantee on executive search placements, Holmgaard Management is a member of the Norwegian-Danish Chamber of Commerce and operates with the highest standards of ethics, diversity and confidentiality.
