Nortal Germany appoints new CEO, Martin Rebs

Rebs and Behrens-Carlsson both joined the company in 2020 when we acquired Schütze, a recognized strategic consulting and IT solutions company in Germany. Since then, Behrens-Carlsson has led our business in Germany and overseen the company’s global ESG office since 2022. Rebs has focused on operational management, and as of early 2024, he has been strengthening the our consulting practice globally in his role as Group Chief Consulting Officer.

Last year, Nortal Germany increased its total revenue by 40% (HGB) compared to 2022, maintaining an average annual growth rate of over 30% for the past five years.

“Our consistent performance underscores the unwavering commitment to our customers and the excellence of our team. Deep domain expertise, combined with a breadth of services across strategic consulting, product development, technology, data, and cyber resilience, puts us in a strong position to increase our market presence in Germany. I am honored by this opportunity and ready to take on this challenge with our team,” said Martin Rebs, new Chief Executive Officer at Nortal Germany.

“I have been running the business together with Martin for over a decade, even before our merger with Nortal in 2020. He is not only an inspiring people leader but also a seasoned business leader with deep experience—qualities I believe are critical to driving our business forward in Germany and leading the organization,” said Ole Behrens-Carlsson, Group Chief Growth Officer at Nortal.

Behrens-Carlsson will transition to a global role within the company as the new Group Chief Growth Officer, effective August 1, 2024. His primary focus will be developing the global growth strategy as well as overseeing global sales and marketing to accelerate expansion across the company’s key markets in Europe, North America, and the GCC region.
