Under the leadership of Ohlsen and Glanz, the consultancy will continue its focus on delivering efficient, client-oriented services that meet evolving industry needs.
HDI Global supports clients through major transformations
Höring noted that many industries are undergoing significant transformations, whether through the shift to a low-carbon economy, the rise of digital technologies, or the increased focus on climate-related risks.
“Our clients are in transformation. No matter if it is the transformation to a carbon-free world, increased digitalisation, autonomous vehicles, or the energy transition as well as the need for climate risk prevention in general, companies are facing huge challenges which are often accompanied by new risks,” he said.
HDI Global’s strategy is to support clients through these transitions by staying at the forefront of technological innovation and offering solutions tailored to emerging risks.
“At HDI Global, we want to be the partner in transformation for our clients, and we very much appreciate their continued trust. Our experts at HDI Risk Consulting are constantly working to be at the forefront of technological transfer and thus understand these new risks of our clients in order to constructively advise and support them on their transformation path,” Höring said.
Glanz’s appointment is subject to approval by the relevant authorities.
