Friisbergs Lithuanian and Belarusian Partners Headline at a Nordic Business

Friisberg’s Lithuanian and Belarusian Partners Headline at a Nordic Business

Summit

On 25-26 May 2012, the Lithuanian Partner of Friisberg & Partners International, Nijole

Kelpsaite, took part in a business summit in Belarus, organized jointly by the European

HumanityUniversity (a Belarusian University) and The Nordic Chambers of Commerce in

Lithuania. The delegates attending comprised members of the Danish, Swedish, Norwegian

and Finnish Chambers of Commerce, representatives of furniture manufacturing, logistics,

insurance and leasing companies, including Storebrand and SEB Leasing. Delegates were

offered visits to various businesses in Belarus, such as a local brewery Lidskoe Pivo, an Olvi

Group Company, Belarus High-Tech Park, amongst others.

Kelpsaite introduced delegates to “Zdes i Sejchas” the Belarusian firm of Friisberg & Partners

International, represented by Olga Nadtochaeva, the firm’s Head of Recruitment, who with

the assistance of her Lithuanian colleagues, made a presentation to delegates containing

useful information about the Belarusian market and its commercial opportunities. She also

shared some practical advice along with her experiences and insights gained as an Executive

Search Consultant in the region. Her presentation was subsequently distributed to all

members of the Nordic Chambers of Commerce in Lithuania.

Nadtochaeva and Kelpsaite expect this event and their participation in it to have been an

excellent boost to the profile and reputation of Friisberg & Partners International in Belarus in

particular and the Nordic and Eastern European Executive Search markets in general, where

Friisberg is already very well represented and continuing to grow.
