Partner Election
Congratulations Clara Zverina who has been elected Partner.
We are excited to announce that Clara Zverina has been elected Partner at Altor.
Since joining us as an Associate in 2014, Clara has been at the heart of many of our most recent investments. Her unwavering dedication, insightful perspectives and contagious energy, have strengthened partnerships like NLTG, Network of Design, Circulose, Aira, and Permascand.
A role model to many internally in Altor and in our broader external community, Clara’s care for others, strong values and crisp communication, attracts talent and she has mobilized this in many key areas important to Altor, such as the green transition and our internal leadership training ALP
Before joining Altor, Clara gained valuable experience at Credit Suisse, McKinsey, and the National Bureau of Economic Research. Clara holds a BA from Oxford University, as well as a Ph.D. from Harvard University.
Paal Weberg, Managing Partner“Working with Clara over the years has been an inspiring journey for me personally. Her entrepreneurial drive, external radiation and can-do attitude make her a natural leader and franchise builder in the true spirit of Altor’s support of challengers and change makers.
Clara will be a great Partner and will further strengthen our special partnership”
On behalf of everyone at Altor, we extend our heartfelt congratulations to Clara. We are excited for this next chapter and can’t wait to see the positive impact she will continue to make as Partner.
