Altea Partners Welcomes Jörg Ranau as Senior Advisor

In a significant move, Altea Partners, a private merchant banking firm, has announced the appointment of former ambassador Jörg Ranau as a Senior Advisor. With nearly four decades of diplomatic experience, Ambassador Ranau will provide strategic guidance to Altea Partners and its clients, particularly focusing on Saudi Arabia and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).

Founded in 2024, Altea Partners has established itself as a trusted advisor for clients navigating the complex landscapes of Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Ambassador Ranau's appointment signifies the firm’s commitment to offer exceptional advisory and investment services in these regions.

Ranau, who served as the German ambassador to Saudi Arabia from 2018 to 2021, has a rich history of promoting German-Saudi economic relations. His tenure was marked by significant initiatives in renewable energy, infrastructure, and healthcare, all in alignment with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 transformation agenda. His diplomatic efforts were pivotal in establishing the 2021 Memorandum of Understanding regarding cooperation on green hydrogen, paving the way for sustainable energy partnerships and industrial modernization.

As a Senior Advisor, Ranau will offer insights into political, economic, and regulatory developments in Saudi Arabia and the broader GCC region. He will leverage his extensive diplomatic background and regional network to support business development, cross-border projects, and initiatives that align with Vision 2030.

"We are thrilled to have Ambassador Ranau join Altea Partners. His diplomatic acumen, understanding of the region, and ability to build bridges across cultures will be invaluable as we continue to grow our business and deliver value to our clients," stated Henning Behre and Kabir Chhatwani, the co-founders of Altea Partners.
