About Mahout (did you know that rhymes?)
Learn more about who we are
Mahout is a startup consultancy born from 30 years of experience and a shared dream of doing things differently. Our mission? Making organizations data-driven while embracing the human aspect.
Many organizations have an ambition to become more data-driven. To get to know their customers better, respond more flexibly to customer needs and make more informed decisions. Using data effectively holds enormous promise, but in practice this often proves to be quite difficult. We help organizations, from top brands to small heroes, to think, act, and dream in a data-driven way. Because we believe working with data shouldn’t be forced. We are satisfied only when everyone is convinced that being data-driven is the way forward. When everyone dares to dream in terms of data-driven possibilities.

Viola Neumann
Data Strategist
At Mahout, we always put people first. Communication and connection are therefore essential. We put this into practice through our approach: We don’t just tell you how to do it, we sit next to you and do it together. That’s how you get the best results in our experience. With the end goal that eventually you’ll be able to do it yourself, because only then the data-driven transformation will be successful.
