Peer Schwieren, Partner & Managing Director, valantic

The Data Miner!

The solutions we develop sustainably transform bare data into true stakeholder value.

What motivates you?

In everything I do, it is crucial to have high-quality underlying data that can be analyzed. Ideally, the data is collected automatically, allowing it to be adapted flexibly to meet requirements. On many occasions, the solutions we develop – based on data warehousing, data mining, predictive analytics, and machine learning systems and methodologies – sustainably transform bare data into true stakeholder value. This process inspires me daily, fueling my passion as a consultant and service provider.

What do you do at valantic?

As an entrepreneur and Managing Director, my primary responsibility is ensuring customer satisfaction. To achieve this, a business analytics project must empower customers to make better decisions and manage and plan more effectively, leaving them more time for value-creating activities.
In doing so, I am part of, and responsible for, a motivated and innovative team (I regard communicating with my team as an important aspect of leadership, but not just speaking to them and making announcements – also listening). I strive to create an environment in which each team member can develop such solutions and identify with meaningful and exhilarating activities, grow professionally, and take on responsibility.

What makes valantic special for you?
