In his new role as Head of Global Markets, Jens will lead NREP’s approach to growing and building new markets and business lines.
Leading Nordic real estate investor NREP announces the appointment of Jens Stender to the business as Partner and member of the Executive Management Team. As Head of Global Markets, Jens will play a pivotal role in leading NREP’s growth ambitions, on both a geographical and strategic level, as it looks to enter new markets and product lines that align with its mission to solve challenges across the urban ecosystem.
Jens initially engaged with NREP in an advisory capacity, supporting the establishment of a seasoned team to lead ‘2150’, its dedicated venture capital firm focused on accelerating a sustainable transition of the built environment. In his newly-created role at NREP, Jens will now look to draw on his experience to bolster the business’ expansion to new markets outside of the Nordics and helping the firm to execute its Urban Vision by focusing on new product lines adjacent to traditional real estate investments.
Jens joins NREP from Egon Zehnder, the global leadership advisory and executive search firm, where he previously served for 14 years as Partner and latterly as Global Co-Head of the Technology and Communications Practice. Drawing on many years of experience, he was a trusted advisor to leading technology and digital companies, as well as to global private equity and infrastructure funds in their most crucial leadership decisions. He mainly focused on CEO appointments, C-level leadership successions and teams and organisational development. Prior to that, Jens was CEO and Founder of MFD Mobiles Fernsehen Deutschland GmbH in Germany and held positions as Head of M&A with debitel AG and as an M&A lawyer with Linklaters in the UK and in Germany. Jens holds a PhD in Law and an MBA from London Business School.
Jens’ appointment as Partner increases the NREP partnership to 18 and follows the recent appointment of Heather Mulahasani who was brought on to explore adjacent infrastructure investment opportunities. He joins at a pivotal period of expansion for the business, which has added 200+ new members to its 525-strong team across eight countries over the past year.
