Nortal Appoints Thomas Hedley as first UK lead to drive business development and strategic partnerships in the country
Nortal focuses on expansion by appointing its first UK Managing Director
LONDON, July 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Nortal, the multinational strategic change and technology company made famous by its digital transformation of the Estonian government (‘e-Estonia‘), is excited to bring its public and private sector offering to customers in the UK for the first time. In recognition of the UK’s long-established reputation as a thriving hub for business, Nortal has appointed Thomas Hedley as Managing Director to expand the company’s global capabilities in the UK. With a strong track record of commercial delivery and strategic leadership, Hedley brings deep industry expertise to strengthen Nortal’s presence and drive growth in the UK.
Hedley will lean on his expertise in strategic leadership and innovation to introduce the global digital transformation company repertoire to the market. With his experience in leading new arms of businesses, Hedley will oversee the establishment and growth of the UK arm, which is already home to Nortal’s cyber consulting team, supporting Nortal’s customers globally.
“My focus is on bringing the best of what Nortal has built over the last 20+ years, to the UK – from its cutting-edge product and engineering capabilities delivering solutions for big tech in the US, to its mature strategy consulting that has successfully transformed global blue-chip businesses and even entire nations. Notably, the Nortal team played a pivotal role in the remarkable Estonian digital government story and has made significant contributions to digital health programs worldwide,” said Thomas Hedley, Managing Director for UK at Nortal.
“I am excited to bring Nortal’s seamless combination of strategic consulting, product, engineering, and cyber resilience to the UK to create value for customers, from government to retailers, financial services providers, manufacturers, life sciences companies and healthcare providers,” he added.
After another record year of growth for Nortal in 2022, Hedley joins at a key point in the company’s international expansion. With a renewed focus around expansion into new markets, the appointment signifies Nortal’s ambition to strengthen its team of experts and continue on its planned growth trajectory across Europe, North America and the GCC.
“Thomas is a strong leader with a breadth of experience in the technology services space and an impressive record of driving year-on-year growth. His leadership qualities and expertise in new business development will lay the groundwork for growth in the UK market,” said Priit Alamäe, CEO of Nortal. “Over the past five years, we have achieved remarkable double-digit organic growth and showed strong financial results across all home markets. Irrespective of the economic conditions, our core value proposition remains strong. Our focus now is to enhance our global presence and effectively communicate our stories to engage in more meaningful conversations with future customers.”
The announcement comes as Nortal continues to expand and mark its presence in Europe more widely. It recently participated at the Ukraine Recovery Conference in London on 21-22 June to join the discussions around Ukraine’s recovery and how to support its accession to the EU. At the conference, Estonian President Alar Karis highlighted Nortal’s dedication to Ukraine. Last year, shortly after the Russia–Ukraine war broke out, Nortal made the rather unprecedented move of acquiring Pwrteams, a world-leader in building cross-border IT and engineering organisations, to bolster its on-the-ground capabilities across the region and beyond.

DUBAI, UAE, Jan. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has been recognized as the second most popular cryptocurrency exchange globally, according to the latest report from CryptoQuant. The “2024 Crypto Survey: Exchange Use and Investor Behavior” underscores Bybit’s unmatched appeal to professional traders, commitment to security, and innovative offerings that cater to a diverse, global user base.
Bybit’s platform has become a hub for full-time traders, with 52% of surveyed users identifying as professionals—outperforming rivals OKX (38%) and Binance (37%). This success is supported by initiatives like the Bybit Broker Program, which has onboarded over 700 new clients in 2024, raising the total to 1,500 institutional clients. Additionally, Bybit’s Unified Trading Account (UTA) simplifies trading by centralizing spot, futures, and options activities in one seamless interface. Supporting over 70 cryptocurrencies as collateral, this system empowers traders to maximize their capital efficiency by using unrealized profits as margin across various products. UTA’s role in managing 99% of the platform’s trading volume showcases its importance to Bybit’s ecosystem.
Furthermore, Bybit’s integration of MetaTrader 5 allows users to diversify into traditional markets, such as Gold and FX, using USDT, marking another step forward in meeting the needs of professional traders.
Bybit’s global popularity spans regions including Africa, South America, the Middle East, Asia, Europe, and Oceania, where it maintains a dominant presence. Even as the exchange strategically exits certain jurisdictions to comply with regulatory requirements, Bybit’s adherence to a compliance-first approach ensures sustainable growth in markets with clear regulatory frameworks. This adaptability has strengthened Bybit’s position as a trusted and reliable global platform.
The report also acknowledges Bybit’s excellence in security, customer service, and P2P trading, where it ranks as the third-best exchange globally. These accolades reflect Bybit’s dedication to delivering a secure, user-focused experience that builds trust and loyalty within its growing community.
