About
We are SIMO. DATA MEETS LEADERSHIP.
SIMO GmbH is an independent management consulting firm for business data strategy and business architecture, based in Aschaffenburg, Germany. Founded in 2020, SIMO supports executive teams and boards with strategic decisions, the development of their data strategy, and the design of their enterprise architecture. Our work connects business requirements with data, organization, and technology.
Why SIMO?
SIMO was founded in 2020 and turned to data management in 2021 because of one observation: companies in Germany have what they need to decide better but cannot get at it. Legacy system landscapes, unclear accountability, and the balancing act between data protection and value creation tie up management capacity that is then missing elsewhere.
We specialize in untying that knot. Working between executive management and technology, we turn an unclear situation into a dependable basis for decisions: traceable, manageable, and compliant with data protection law.

Our DNA
Trust
Every recommendation is backed by evidence and tailored to your situation. We also tell you what won’t hold up.
Innovation
We remain practitioners. We recommend new technology when it makes a measurable contribution.
The leadership
Andreas O. Schwan
Managing Partner, Data Architecture and TechnologyA mathematician (Diplom) with more than 20 years of experience in financial services and seven banking references, including tier-one banks. At one of Europe’s largest banks, he was accountable for monitoring more than 70 million transactions a day, and for a tier-one bank he processed 23 TB of critical business data in under 10 hours.
Our methods were not developed in a lab. They came out of the reality of German banking, where the only thing that counts is whether a statement holds up under audit.
Thomas Wassum
Managing Partner, Brand and Corporate StrategyThomas Wassum has more than 25 years of leadership experience in print and media. He combines corporate strategy with data-driven market development and talks to executives about the bottom line, not to IT about interfaces.
Initiatives rarely fail on technology. They fail on an unclear basis for decisions, on processes, and on a lack of buy-in.

We are based in Aschaffenburg, among hidden champions: midsize companies that lead world markets in specialized niches.
BVMW
