Data consultancy synvert names André Holhozinskyj as new CEO

Pan-European data consultancy firm synvert has appointed a new CEO, bringing André Holhozinskyj on board from Accenture to lead its next growth phase.

Formed last year through the merger of seven boutique consulting firms in multiple countries, synvert is a 600-person firm dedicated to data services, including data management, cloud, analytics and artificial intelligence. The company has partnerships with major technology venders such as Databricks, Snowflake, AWS, Microsoft, Google, and Oracle.

In his new role as chief executive officer, André Holhozinskyj has been handed the ambitious goal of driving year-on-year double-digit growth in the coming years, in line with the broader ambition to become one of Europe’s leading data consultancy firms.

Holhozinskyj leads teams in Europe (Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Croatia), the Middle East (UAE) and North America (US). “Our growth plans are ambitious, with targets for double-digit growth that we will pursue through a combination of organic expansion and strategic acquisitions throughout the EMEA region,” he said.

According to synvert’s own records, the firm serves over 250 clients in Europe. “Through our blend of data-driven solutions with AI and cloud technologies, we are well-positioned to increase companies’ long-term business competitiveness.”

Holhozinskyj joins synvert from Accenture, where he spent close to two decades across two spells, latterly serving as a managing director. He also gained experience in industry with data insights company GfK, where he held several senior roles including Global Head of Operations.
