The Data Consultant Who Asks the Right Questions
Most data consultants tell you what you want to hear. I tell you what you need to hear.I founded Xudo because I saw a gap in the market for truly independent advice on how to get more value from your data. After graduating as a philosopher from the University of Ghent, I wound up in data and analytics—a journey that gave me a unique perspective that combines analytical rigor with critical thinking.
Why Philosophy Matters in Data
My philosophy background isn't just academic credential—it's my secret weapon. Philosophy trained me to spot assumptions others take for granted, to ask the right questions instead of accepting the obvious answers, and to see the bigger picture when others get lost in technical details.This philosophical approach means I look at your data challenges holistically, connecting your business value proposition with the right data architecture and user experience through my proprietary data flow framework.
15+ Years of Real Transformations
With more than 15 years of experience in data and analytics, I've guided organizations through complex transformations across industries—from pharmaceutical giants like UCB to growing Belgian companies like Dropsolid and Groep Huyzentruyt.
Recent highlights:
- Dropsolid: Engineered 3-layer Data Vault architecture in Google BigQuery, delivering automated margin analysis
- Greenyard Frozen: Interim BI Manager streamlining complex QlikView environments and managing SAP migrations
- Onafhankelijk Leven: Built workforce planning dashboards enabling data-driven decisions
Truly Independent Advice
As a solo consultant, I am genuinely independent. I don't have ties with software vendors pushing their solutions. I don't have juniors on the bench that I need to staff. Xudo is cashflow positive, so I don't have to make concessions when it comes to the projects I take on—or refuse.
This independence means I will tell you what you need to hear, even if you don't want to hear it. But it also means I can be patient and only engage when I can truly add huge value for your business.
Modern Approach, Proven Results
I embrace modern development techniques, including AI-enhanced workflows. Recently, I built a complete parking availability app for Gent using open data and AI-assisted development—demonstrating how traditional data expertise combines with cutting-edge tools to rapidly prototype solutions.My T-shaped expertise gives you the best of both worlds: broad knowledge across the entire data lifecycle plus deep specialization in BI platforms like Qlik, PowerBI, and Google BigQuery.
Who I Work With
Xudo's clients are data champions—people in growing Flemish companies (100+ employees, €10M+ revenue) with international ambitions who realize they can get more value from data but find running data projects highly complex and multifaceted.
You're looking for strategic data transformation, not just dashboards. You want someone who challenges assumptions and spots gaps others miss. You need end-to-end capability from strategy through implementation to user adoption.

Based in Ghent and available for projects across East & West Flanders, I help growing companies turn data complexity into competitive advantage.
