Ivan Schotsmans
BARC Ambassador
Independent expertise at the intersection of data, strategy, and innovation.
I help organizations unlock the full potential of their data by aligning strategic objectives with trusted governance, scalable architectures, and responsible AI adoption.
As an official BARC Ambassador, I’m connected to one of Europe’s leading research and advisory firms in the field of data & analytics. This role allows me to bring the latest BARC insights, market trends, and best practices directly into real-world implementation.
With over 25 years of experience across organizations like VRT, VDAB, Nike, NMBS, and AB InBev, I combine strategic thinking with deep technical know-how — particularly in the areas of data quality, metadata, semantics, and AI governance.
Mission: to guide organizations on their journey toward true data-driven transformation — where trust, quality, and measurable business impact come first.
Thank you for considering us as your trusted partner in data and AI strategy. As a BARC Ambassador, I bring the strength of independent research, proven best practices, and deep industry insight to every collaboration. Together, we’ll build a foundation of trusted data, clear governance, and innovative solutions tailored to your business goals.
We look forward to supporting your journey with insight, integrity, and impact.
