Birn+Partners is powered by a winning team spirit. More than 60 dedicated consultants and partners in 10 countries are on a mission to deliver high world class talents and helping in building high performing teams in international companies.

Our organisation

Birn+Partners has always had yearly growth rates above 20%. Each year we have established a legal entity and entered a new country. Our expansion continues and ever since the first day, we have followed our clients internationally.

We have primarily grown organically and see possible mergers being a part of future growth and expansion.
