Altor Equity Partners

In this interview, Linnéa Ekroth, Senior Associate at Altor invites you to learn more about the Altor Community called FAIR and one of the organisations we are proud to be supporting - GAIN UK. The ‘Altor Communities’ were launched in 2023 with the purpose to utilize our network, engagement model, knowledge and capital to drive positive societal impact beyond our investment and ownership activities. ➡ Which initiative have you decided to support and why? We found an organisation in the UK called GAIN UK, focused on early outreach programs for girls and young women in high school and university, meeting them, inspiring them, and empowering them to choose career tracks that are not typically associated with female attributes or that girls may not think is for them. We found their work super inspiring and could see the great results that they have achieved so far. Furthermore, we knew that they have a great team in place, including one of the Co-Founders Tilly Franklin, who has previously been director of private equity at Alta Advisers, one of Altor’s LPs.    Read the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/dj9RKYWw Learn more about the Altor communities in our Sustainability report: https://lnkd.in/dbwKr-wr
