Carbon Accounting Software Provider Normative Appoints Sebastien Blanc as New CEO

Normative, which provides a carbon accounting platform that enables companies to track their carbon footprint through mapping their business activities, announced the appointment of Sebastien Blanc as its new CEO.

Blanc takes on the role from Kristian Rönn, who has served as CEO of Normative since co-founding the company in 2014.

In a social media post announcing the new appointment, Rönn said:

“Normative has been my “baby” for almost 11 years. Watching it grow from a simple idea into a company that can truly stand on its own has been the privilege of a lifetime. We have pioneered SaaS based Carbon Accounting, and shown the world that making carbon visible—and actionable—is possible, and I’m immensely proud of what we’ve achieved.”

Blanc joins Normative with more than two decades of experience in the tech space, including nearly three years as CEO of UK commerce content firm Skimlinks (now a part of Taboola). He was also CEO of London-based e-commerce firm Lengow, and has held positions as board member in several tech firms.

Blanc said:

“I’m thrilled to join Normative at this exciting stage of growth. I believe that climate is the most important problem of our time. My goal is to spend all my energy helping to build a company that will endure in the long run, building the most compelling products and customer experience so that, ultimately, we build the data we need to make a dent in the climate challenge we all face.”
