What do our own people say are the best aspects of life at Astorg?
Entrepreneurial & Collaborative
Like the business we invest in and grow, an entrepreneurial spirit is a special ingredient for success.
Individually that’s about being given responsibility and trust early, having ownership and space for initiative.
Collectively it’s about trusting in each other’s talents, being fast and flexible, and being respectful and collaborative. It’s a balance of low hierarchy but high performance in attitude.
Accessible & Human Leadership
Being surrounded by a blend of smart minds and deep experience is reward in itself.
For us, that means our leaders are humble, listen and learn from all corners of our teams.
Our leaders are accessible and give time and energy to foster open dialogue, encourage questioning and constructive challenge for learning and development
Learning & Accelerated Development
When individuals develop, it lifts everyone in turn.
Our environment places emphasis on giving stretch assignments and opportunities to accelerate learning on the job.
We make sure people have clarity about their development and that everyone is supportive in making it happen. We strengthen development with specific learning programs at key career transition stages, and coaching when relevant.
“We have kept the entrepreneurial spirit that has shaped Astorg from the beginning. Our people have the ownership, freedom to act and shared ambition of a firm built for long-term performance.”
