Experience and advice you can mirror your business in
Northstone Partners was founded by Henrik Rydiander, with the vision of offering Executive Advisory at the highest level with a strong network of external specialists within law, IT security, HR, auditing, finance and recruitment.
This enables us to provide advice that is both interdisciplinary, personal and results-oriented.
Northstone Partners advises owners, boards and management in complex decisions where strategy must be translated into action, and where change requires experience, overview and results.
Our advice is based on many years of experience from executive and board level in Danish and international companies.
We combine strategic insight, operational understanding and human foresight and help create clarity, action and business momentum.
Northstone Partners works nationally and internationally primarily with owners, owner-managers, boards of directors and C-levels in the SMB segment from approximately 2 to 250 employees, typically within:
Production
Industry & machine production
Trade and distribution
Consulting and service companies
Tech, SaaS and digital services
Privately owned growth companies (before investor)
Crafts & construction/construction
Family-owned businesses in generational transition
How we work
Our advice is based on four basic principles:
Experience – insight from reality, not just theory.
Clarity – clarity about purpose, scope and value.
Honesty – we tell things as they are, even when it's difficult.
Structure – framework that creates focus, progress and results.
Our approach is built on trust, respect and a shared understanding that true momentum occurs when strategy is translated into action. We believe that change requires courage, insight and action and that the best results are created in trusting partnerships.

The story of the logo
Northstone Partners' logo is more than a visual identity, it is a valuable symbol of our approach to consulting and partnership.
Fides (Trust) – the cornerstone of every partnership.
Respectus (Respect) – understanding people, context and responsibility.
Officium (Engagement) – the will to create real change and progress.
The circle around the pyramid symbolizes balance and duration – because strategy only creates value when it is translated into action and maintained through trust.
