We are glad to welcome Kurt Knaub as our new Director of Data & AI Strategy in North America. Knaub brings over 20 years of experience in data strategy, analytics leadership, and digital transformation.

Knaub began his career in strategy and operations consulting at Deloitte, where he worked on transformative projects in healthcare and finance. He later joined Point B, where he helped to develop and expand its Data & Analytics practice. For the past decade, he has led enterprise data strategies, governance frameworks, and advanced analytics initiatives for Fortune 100 companies and mid-sized enterprises across utilities, consumer goods, and healthcare.

 

“Nortal stands apart in its ability to seamlessly integrate technology, strategy, and execution—ensuring clients don’t just adopt AI and analytics, but achieve meaningful business impact,” said Kurt Knaub, Director of Data & AI Strategy for Nortal in North America. “I’m excited to help strengthen our North American data and AI strategy, enhance governance frameworks, and forge key technology partnerships that will keep Nortal at the forefront of innovation.”

As Director of Data & AI Strategy, Knaub will focus on:

  • Strengthening Nortal’s AI and analytics strategy to align data-driven solutions with business objectives and evolving industry needs.
  • Enhancing data governance and compliance frameworks to help organizations navigate the increasing regulatory complexity of AI and data security.
  • Developing high-impact technology partnerships to advance AI innovation, cloud analytics, and industry-specific solutions.

Knaub joins Nortal at a time of unprecedented growth in AI adoption, where organizations face pressure to demonstrate quick success while ensuring long-term sustainability. He believes that success requires a strong foundation: “Businesses won’t be able to simply ‘AI’ their way out of every challenge. They need end-to-end solutions that align AI investments with data strategy, governance, and operational goals.”

Nortal will leverage Knaub’s expertise to expand its AI and analytics capabilities and position itself as a go-to partner for AI-powered digital transformation in the public sector, healthcare, and critical infrastructure industries.
