Turn your vision into reality

It's the people behind the digital transformation who really count!

Why do you think it is the people behind the digital transformation projects who make the difference?

During my time as a Sky executive, I witnessed firsthand how employees across all levels collaborated to enhance the customer experience and business processes using digital means. However, despite multi-million-euro projects lasting several years, I never once found a trusted consulting partner offering holistic support from strategy to implementation. Upon discovering valantic, I recognized that they offer something truly unique: dedicated contacts for each customer – individuals our customers can 100% depend on. That’s what sets valantic apart and makes our team here so exceptional.

How would you characterize valantic in three concise statements?

End-to-end from strategy to implementation. Core values ingrained into every aspect of our operations. Embracing diversity and fostering a culture of cultures.

Sebastian, what did you do before joining valantic?

Before joining valantic, I was a C-level manager at the pay-TV broadcaster Sky where I oversaw Customer Service, Supply Chain & Procurement, Digital Innovation, and Continuous Improvement, amongst other things. I also served as interim CTO and CHRO during my time there. Before that, I spent nine years at McKinsey & Co. where I worked as a consultant, project manager, and associate principal. My academic background includes studies and a doctoral degree from the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Trinity College Dublin, and the Vienna University of Economics and Business. Besides that, I also completed an executive education program at IMD, Lausanne.
