Hi, I am Christoph, responsible for Analytics, BI and Advertising Tech at IKI, a subsidiary of REWE Group in Lithuania. Before I joined IKI, I was Group Lead Analytics for BILLA, with about 1,100 stores one of the largest grocery chains in Austria. My job is to increase our ROI from analytics initatives and help foster a data-driven culture. Before I joined BILLA, I was the Lead Data Scientist in the BI Competence Center at the Austrian Postal Service. I was responsible for designing the data science architecture, building the data science team and for coding up predictive models for logistics use cases. Prior to joining the Austrian Post, I worked as a financial consultant at KPMG.
I have a Master degree in Quantitative Finance and a Bachelor degree in Business. So I am neither scared by stuff like: $$\max \left(\frac{1}{2}\sigma^2 V”(x)+\mu V’(x)-rV(x), 1-V’(x) \right) = 0$$ nor by acronyms such as GDPR, IFRS and EBITDA:)
My interests include traveling (I did a 9-month-trip-around-the-world), climbing and playing board games. Recently I started teaching myself the piano (we will see how that goes:)
