Amesto Global is one of four divisions in a group that’s renowned as an early adaptor of technology — and as an investor always on the lookout for innovation. The Amesto Group was founded in 2002 by CEO Arild Spandow, who is also part owner of the Norwegian family-run parent company, Spabo Group. Amesto Global serves as the group specialist of international expansion. It partners with entrepreneurial companies and SMEs and takes charge of priorities such as tech development, HR requirements and administrative services. The aim is to foster business growth — domestic or international — and to facilitate business expansion between Europe and the US. Amesto Global has teams in Oslo, London, Limerick and New Jersey. Oonagh Hayes and Armin Kirchner are the leading partners, bringing more than six decades of multilingual and multicultural business experience with them. They cultivate long-term relationships with clients and create bespoke solutions that cover a range of complex issues. Amesto Global serves as a single point of contact for companies eyeing international expansion. It offers assistance with regulatory management, corporate governance and tax compliance, among other back-office functions, and provides advisory and corporate finance services for strategic growth and M&A. It works with companies to attract capital across funding rounds by offering consultancy and pre-due diligence services. The CFI.co judging panel is unanimous in awarding Amesto Global with the 2021 award for Best International Expansion Services (Europe).
