Anders Strand

I joined Nordhaven in 2000 and since 2018 have been the Managing Partner of the Oslo office. Over the past 20 years I have been fully dedicated to cross-border and domestic M&A dealmaking and led numerous deals,particularly in the technology and business services space. Previously, I was Head of Research and Senior Financial Analyst at HQ Technology / Haqströmer and Qviberg, covering the technology sector. I also worked as managing consultant for Gemini Consulting focusing on strategy and technology. At Q-Free ASA I worked as a software developer.

My higher education is Siviløkonomstudiet from the Norwegian School of Economics and Business Administration, and Sivilingeniør (Bsc.Hon) in Computer Science from UMIST.

I used to spend my free time doing competitive sailing – but now I’m desperately trying to improve my golf handicap, and dreaming about unfinished aspirations in climbing.
