Data strategy and governance consultancy with analytics and AI implementation
Datashift is a Belgium-based data consultancy (51–200 employees, founded 2015) staffed predominantly with data professionals. The tech stack—Python, SQL, Airflow, Power BI, Tableau, Databricks, Azure Data Factory, Collibra, and major cloud providers—reflects a services firm pivoting from traditional BI toward modern data platforms and governance. Active projects cluster around metadata pipelines, data catalogs, and governance automation, while pain-point data shows recurring struggles with AI compliance and large-scale transformation contexts, suggesting clients bring broken data estates and regulatory exposure.
Datashift delivers end-to-end data and AI services: strategy, implementation, analytics, engineering, and governance. The company works with mid-market and enterprise organizations across Belgium, Canada, and the Netherlands. Core offerings span business intelligence (Power BI, Tableau), data engineering (Airflow, Databricks, Azure Data Factory), data governance (Collibra implementations, metadata solutions), and increasingly AI risk and compliance. The team is data-focused—41 of 50 active roles sit in the data department—with a mix of senior consultants, mid-level engineers, and managers reflecting a services-delivery structure.
