Montagu Evans
Planning and development consultancy Montagu Evans has appointed Jenny Rydon as its new head of healthcare. Jenny joins from built asset design and consultancy firm Arcadis, where she was director and sector leader for healthcare. Before that, Jenny undertook a number of roles directly with the NHS in the Midlands before joining private practice, including as a service manager in trauma and orthopaedics and a strategy and redesign manager for urgent care and sexual health services. She has since focused on built asset consultancy and business transformation, leading a 30-strong team in developing and delivering capital projects and real estate strategies for the healthcare sector, local authorities and central government.

Ride-hailing service Kapten yesterday announced the appointment of Sebastien Oebel as its new chief executive officer (CEO). Sebastien has previously held senior positions at various companies.

Commenting on his new position, Sebastien said: “It is an honor to serve as Kapten’s CEO and build on Yan’s legacy to pursue the internationalization and development of an innovative and successful venture. I am delighted to join a company that emphasises responsible and sustainable practices which is a key differentiating factor in the ride-hailing market.” The company is readying itself for further expansion into Europe — it now works with more than 40,000 drivers across the UK, France and Portugal, including 17,000 partner drivers in London alone.
