Korder (pictured) succeeds James Higgs, who was appointed as managing director in London following the pandemic and who will be returning to his role as partner to focus on client work.

In his new job, Korder will be tasked with expanding the company based in its London office and will work alongside Jennifer Riel, chief operating officer at Ideo, to implement the company’s strategy across Europe.

Before taking on his new role, Korder was partner at Ideo and had worked for the company for nine years.

Higgs said: “Lorenz has been at the heart of our business in London for many years. His passion for what makes us different and his sense of duty to our exceptional community in London makes him the ideal person to lead the business into the next phase of growth.

“I look forward to working with Lorenz as he brings his energy to our people and offers throughout Europe.”
