Dr. Sebastian Hauptmann

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.
