Dr. Claude Barthels

I am a technologist helping organizations make impactful and lasting improvements to their performance, business processes, and information systems.

I draw on over a decade of experience in enterprise architecture, software engineering, and systems design to help organizations of all sizes identify emerging business opportunities and adopt a data-driven mindset. At Scandit, I am heading the global IT department, where I focus on enhancing interactions between various business units through optimized business processes and improved integrations of systems. Before joining Scandit, I worked as a senior consultant at McKinsey & Company, advising C-level executives on technology and business strategy to help them solve their most pressing challenges. I prepared impactful, multi-year business transformations and led the architectural design of many complex information systems in the cloud and on premise. During my doctoral studies at ETH Zürich, I developed cutting-edge technologies that have had a substantial impact on large-scale data management and distributed data processing. I authored several peer-reviewed publications presented in international research venues, and worked with multiple partners from industry and academia on innovative projects to accelerate database systems, make existing processes more efficient, and improve overall business insights.
