Goldman Sachs is a global leader in private equity, with a strong track record of investing in the technology sector and in the Nordics.

Most important is that we can stay true to our core ambition: to be a real partner to all customers and a great workplace that keeps on attracting the best talent, says Mikael Noaksson, Advania’s group CEO.
