He will run NGP Capital in Berlin, Germany.

Christian Noske has joined Finland-based tech company Nokia’s corporate venturing unit as a partner to set up its German office. He will run NGP Capital in Berlin having previously moved to a partner position at Germany-based venture capital firm Target Global in December last year. Noske had initially moved back to Europe after a decade in the United States to become head of Alliance Ventures, the $1bn investment vehicle formed by carmakers Renault, Nissan and Mitsubishi, in September 2019, having joined the fund in California at the start of 2018. The move followed a rapid rise from analyst to partner at automotive manufacturer BMW’s corporate venturing unit, BMW i Ventures, where Noske made the GCV Rising Stars list in 2016 and 2017.
