Life at Ascend

What drew me to Ascend was the firm’s reputation for excellence and its unique culture

At Ascend, you are always encouraged to shoulder responsibility and ownership, no matter how junior or senior you are

My key focus will be on driving Innovation and Collaboration in our new context as part of the Knowit ecosystem

At Ascend, we are a tight-knit team that aims to create the most possible value for our clients whilst simultaneously supporting and developing each other

I fell for the friendly people, and that Ascend is a small and entrepreneurial management consultancy firm

Being a part of Knowit’s ecosystem, we continue to run Ascend based on our core values; Inclusive leadership and a strong sense of entrepreneurship

Since October 3rd, Ascend has been part of Knowit. We met with Jonas Nodler, Founding Partner and Johanna Murby, our future Managing Partner, to learn more about their view on the current business climate, Ascend, and the next chapter together with Knowit. Jonas and Johanna share some inspiring thoughts on opportunities in the new context and complementary synergies that extend several values for our customers.

My mentor offered me a safe place to ask questions and reflect on both my past experiences and future career plans

The values we live at Ascend are also key in every collaboration with our customers

At Ascend, I am constantly surrounded by intelligent, driven and fun people, which is truly energizing and inspiring

Why we work at Ascend

We consider fun a competitive advantage, how can you not be proud of representing that?

Together with Ascend, we can create larger impact and real change

We met with Lars Theobaldt, managing partner at Detecon – a German consultancy company with more than 1,100 consultants worldwide, specializing in digital transformations and Telecoms. Lars is currently responsible for the establishment and development of Detecon in the Nordics and has since 2020 been fostering the partnership between Ascend and Detecon.

At Ascend, we build the company and make our internal functions work together as a team

Everyone at Ascend always wants to move forward, committing and making an impact

My primary focus areas for 2022 will be our clients, the consultants who work with us today and the consultants who have worked with us over the years

I consider the way we view colleagues and the trust we have in each other’s capabilities is what makes Ascend unique

At Ascend, I have the chance to work with outstanding people that are highly skilled at what they do

The purpose of the office

Right before the pandemic struck, we decided to expand our office to twice its size. The objectives of the expansion were to build a stronger foundation for us to work together, invite customers, and create a meeting point where everyone feels welcome and inspired. Little did we know that the world was about to turn upside down.

I knew right away that I would be challenged, encouraged, and inspired at Ascend

At Ascend, we are outstandingly good at involving and helping each other with our deliveries. This makes work really fun while we reach exceptional results

At Ascend, we strive to enable team deliveries. Being at the early stage of my career, I value this highly

Fun might not be the first word that comes to mind when hearing the words management consulting, but at Ascend it truly is fun

I always feel like I am getting the support and the help that I need from my colleagues to do the best work that I can

At Ascend we work closely together with co-workers at all seniority levels and this truly fuels the development curve

Life at Ascend

Fun. Inclusive. Exceptional.
