Chief Data Officer

Stefan Berge

Turning data into decisions that move organizations forward.

17+ years building and leading data functions across eCommerce, real estate, and digital media. I design data strategies, build the teams to execute them, and implement the platforms that make it all work — bridging C-level vision with hands-on technical depth.

My focus is on the full picture: governance and quality as the foundation, analytics and AI as the engine, and a data culture that makes insights stick across the organization.
