Partnership, creativity and collaboration sit at the heart of Permira’s culture. We work across geographies, sectors and business lines towards a shared objective, with everyone—regardless of level—encouraged to contribute their perspective. This diversity of viewpoints leads to richer discussion, more creative thinking and better outcomes, while also making for a more engaging and enjoyable work experience. Permira is not a collection of individual voices, but a genuinely unified team, driving stronger results across the portfolio and fostering close, trusted relationships with external stakeholders, including our investors.
