Omny has selected Thomas Fetten to lead its next phase of growth, as the company helps organisations around the world make sense of complex operational data, identify hidden security risks, and better protect critical infrastructure. Fetten will officially assume the role on 1 October 2025.
Fetten brings more than 25 years of global leadership experience in technology, cybersecurity, and managed services, including senior executive roles at Deutsche Telekom Security, Secure Link/Orange Cyber Defence, and IBM.
He also advised private equity funds on technology and cybersecurity investments, driving international expansion and transformation. With Fetten stepping into the CEO role, Omny is reinforcing its ambition to broaden its footprint and strengthen relationships with customers and partners in Europe and internationally.
New stage of growth
In his new role, Fetten will focus on strengthening Omny’s role as a trusted provider of operational technology
“Omny is entering a new stage of growth, beyond Norway,” says Chairman of the Board, John Markus Lervik.
“After an extensive search, we found that Fetten’s experience working with major European security providers, along with his deep understanding of both clients and partners, make him the right leader to position Omny as the go-to security partner for operational resilience.”
In his new role, Fetten will focus on strengthening Omny’s role as a trusted provider of operational technology (OT) security solutions. His vision emphasizes customer impact, technological innovation, and global growth.
Protecting critical infrastructure
“We have a unique opportunity to help organisations protect critical infrastructure at a time when cyber and physical risks are converging,” says Thomas Fetten.
He continues, “I see Omny as one of Norway’s best-kept secrets, with the potential to become a global leader in OT security. Together with the team, I look forward to sharpening our long-term vision, working closely with our clients to address their urgent OT security challenges, and partnering with managed security service providers, OEMs, and others to bring our solutions to more organisations.”
Fetten, a German national who grew up in the United States, will be based in Europe and spends significant time with Omny’s teams, clients, and technology partners across regions. Fetten’s arrival marks the beginning of a new chapter for Omny, centered on the alignment of Omny’s product and goals, and closer collaboration with customers and partners, extending the reach of its OT security solutions.
