XantageFounder and CEO
Aug. 2019Stockholm County, SwedenAt Xantage, we help enterprise organizations navigate digital transformation by integrating AI, automation, and data-driven solutions to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and decision-making. Our expertise lies in streamlining operations, optimizing data management, and enabling AI-powered insights to drive measurable business impact. Key Focus Areas:
• AI & Data Integration – Deploying AI models and data solutions that reduce manual effort and enhance real-time insights.
• Operational Efficiency – Identifying bottlenecks, implementing automation, and improving workflows to accelerate business processes.
• Service & Support Innovation – Enhancing service delivery with AI-driven knowledge management and real-time field support. Notable Projects & Impact:
• Sales & Commission Reporting Transformation – Developed a data product that automated sales and commission reporting for a medical equipment distributor, reducing report generation time from two weeks to 10 minutes, ensuring accuracy, speed, and transparency across the sales organization.
• AI-Powered Service Co-Pilot – Implemented an AI language model on top of serial number-specific documentation, enabling field service technicians to retrieve repair instructions in 5 minutes instead of waiting three days for expert assistance. This solution eliminated delays, allowing generalist technicians to handle service tasks with AI-assisted precision.
• Product Release Acceleration – Overhauled data management and operational coordination for a client struggling with irregular release cycles. Through process optimization and automation, we transformed their quarterly (or worse) release cycle into a reliable monthly cadence, improving both productivity and time-to-market. At Xantage, we don’t just digitize processes—we redefine them. Our approach ensures that digital transformation leads to tangible business gains, positioning our clients for long-term success in a rapidly evolving landscape.
