Built by data practitioners, for data-driven teams

We are a lean team of experienced data specialists who work as an extension of your data team.

Who We Are

Why we work this way

Most companies do not have a data problem in the abstract. They have a specific, expensive one: a number two teams calculate differently, a pipeline nobody trusts before a board meeting, an AI initiative stalled because the data underneath it will not hold weight.

The usual options do not fit. Large consultancies arrive with a pyramid, a partner you meet once and a delivery team learning on your budget. Freelance platforms give you a capable individual with no structure behind them, and no cover when that individual moves on. Neither gives you a counterpart who will tell you something you did not want to hear.

Semantic was built to be the third option. A small team of experienced specialists who embed with your people, solve the actual problem, and stay close to the work for the long run. We work with companies across Europe, the US, and the Middle East, and that range is exactly what we bring back to each client: patterns, benchmarks, and hard-won best practices from outside their own four walls.

Founder

The person behind Semantic

Pierre Sarkis

Pierre Sarkis

Founder

Pierre spent his career in data at Amazon, working across the US and Europe at the kind of scale where unreliable data is not an inconvenience but an operational risk. He founded Semantic to bring that standard to companies that want to be genuinely data-driven, without hiring an army to get there.

A graduate of HEC Paris, he combines a technical data background with business management training. That mix shapes how Semantic works: technical decisions are made in business terms, and business decisions are made with data that holds up.

Our Values

How we operate

Depth over volume

We take on fewer engagements and go deeper into each. Being small is not a stage we are trying to grow out of. It is how the work stays good.

Honest from the start

Clear scope, realistic timelines, and direct communication, including when the answer is that you do not need us for this.

Accountable for the service

Regular reviews with every client, and continuity we own rather than pass to you. If the standard slips, we hear about it early and we fix it.

Let's talk about your data.
