After the Finnish-German data and AI consultancy DAIN Studios expanded its business considerably with the participation of the technology group Körber at the beginning of the year, the next expansion step to Austria is now following. With Ana Simic, DAIN Studios brings an experienced marketing and digitalization expert on board, who will head the newly opened Austrian office in Vienna.
After positions at Henkel, bwin and A1 Austria, Simic was most recently responsible for the international rollout of data-driven solutions as Head of Customer Engagement and Data2Impact in seven countries of the A1 Telekom Austria Group. For DAIN Studios, she is now expected to further promote the company’s growth strategy and establish the company also in Austria as the leading digital consultancy.
“I have known the team of DAIN Studios for a long time and am convinced of their strength in data and transformation, and their personal, individual approach to projects. DAIN has shown how the successful the expansion of a data and AI ecosystem in Finland and Germany works, in which all partners can grow together. I am very pleased to be able to continue this successful path in Vienna together with the teams of DAIN Studios and the Körber Group,” explains Ana Simic, Managing Director of DAIN Studios Vienna.
“The opening of the studio in Vienna is the next milestone in our goal of being even closer to our customers and partners. Austria is a growth market - it is all the more important for us to offer an even more customer-centric service in the future and at the same time to be an active shaper of the digital ecosystem in Austria,” says Dirk Hofmann, co-founder and CEO of DAIN Studios Germany, to the decision to expand in Austria.
“DAIN Studios has already achieved successful growth since Körber acquired a majority stake at the beginning of this year. Over the past five years the company has successfully positioned itself on the market for smart data and AI strategies in Germany and Finland. The opening of the studio in Vienna is an important step in further expanding the presence of DAIN Studios in the DACH region,” says Daniel Szabo, CEO of Körber Digital.
