What are you passionate about?

While digital supply chains are now widely understood, their end-to-end implementation in daily operations still presents challenges that we address collaboratively with our clients. By leveraging our talented workforce, cutting-edge technologies, and a systematic approach to processes, we enhance the competitiveness of individual companies and bolster Europe as a thriving business hub. This mission inspires me to approach each day with enthusiasm.

What do you focus on at valantic?

I focus on achieving measurable improvements in essential areas such as ensuring process stability and reducing throughput times. If we can help manufacturing companies—my area of expertise—progress to the next stage of digitalization, I have achieved my goal.
I thrive on highlighting transformative opportunities that empower companies and leaders to act courageously. My aim is to inspire them: to boldly explore new avenues, think expansively, and strive for market leadership, leaving their competitors far behind.

Martin, is there something that makes you proud in your daily work?

valantic has evolved from a conventional software consulting firm into a provider of innovative and business-critical insights. Our approach focuses on authentic consulting and fostering relationships built on mutual respect. This dedication cultivates enduring customer partnerships that often last for decades—20 years or more is not uncommon. It makes me immensely proud when clients reach out today, recalling how we guided them through a crisis in the mid-1990s and successfully orchestrating a turnaround, while remaining committed to ongoing support. This is a true testament to the effectiveness of valantic’s partnership philosophy.

What makes valantic special for you?

valantic is one of those companies that the market truly needs. We not only deliver measurable business value, but through our digitalization projects, we actively contribute to bolstering the European economy. What sets us apart from other consulting firms is our holistic approach in which we not only develop strategic concepts and design new processes but seamlessly execute their implementation as well. valantic has the expertise and experience needed to handle all of these steps. As the saying goes: Knowledge needs a sound foundation; our robust competence centers allow us to integrate this expertise, offering one-stop solutions unparalleled in the industry.

What did you do before joining valantic?

I have been the Managing Director of valantic Supply Chain Excellence GmbH since 2017. Before that, I worked at Wassermann AG joining in 1997 as a management consultant, project manager, and later as a partner, and serving on the Executive Board from 2002. With my training in mechanical engineering and degree in industrial engineering, it was a natural progression to focus on optimizing production processes in the mechanical engineering, automotive, and pharmaceutical industries.
