ABOUT US
You want to know who you work with. So, first let’s introduce ourselves. We are Aiandus.
We help companies and institutions with data science, analytics and AI. We do so by advising on how to build a modern, data-driven organization and products. And we find the temporary or permanent staff to realise yours.
This is what we believe: “Passionate people with smart tools can change the world!”
What we do
We help companies build a data driven organization. And we help data professionals build a great career.We do consulting, interim and recruitment. So, we can provide the entire cycle from plan, implementation to employment of people. But, each of those separately too. Just the way you want it!
How we started
Aiandus was founded in 2017 by Kees Groeneveld. Kees is a consulting veteran: in 25 years he advised over 100 companies and institutions in more than 150 projects, eg. with PwC and Capgemini. And Kees is a former director at headhunter Korn Ferry. He has a university degree in theoretical physics.
Our specialty
From our data & analytics consulting activities, we received more and more questions about talent, roles and functions. So, since 2019 – next to our consulting work – we specialize in interim and recruitment. We do search and matching for all data & analytics roles, with a special focus on executives and teams.
CHIEF DATA NL
Are you an executive of an organization that aims to become data-driven? Or are you responsible for ‘all things data’ in your organization, eg. as CDO or CIO? Then, this may be interesting for you! In 2021, we started a new initiative, “thé executive hub for chiefs and data in the Netherlands”, Chief Data NL, an exclusive network for ‘chiefs in data’ to learn from each other in a trustworthy, shielded environment.
“Passionate people with smart tools can change the world”
The Aiandus creed
This is what we believe, this is what we stand for: passionate professionals with intelligent tools for a better world!

HOW WE WORK
CONSULTING, INTERIM & RECRUITMENT
We help companies and institutions to transform into a successful “data-driven” organization. The balance between people and technology determines success: what can people do better than technology, and vice versa. We do so by advising on strategy and organization. Your people are crucial.
The balance between people and technology is so fundamental for us, that we named ourselves after it: Aiandus = “AI and us”
TALENT POOL
Based on our excellent personal relationships in ‘the data world’ and our professional expertise, for our interim and recruitment activities we have direct access to a (strongly growing) talent pool of very good executives and professionals, both freelance and employed. The absolute toppers, but also somewhat less experienced professionals. Not every position requires a (very expensive) unicorn, after all.
CONSULTING
Vision, strategy and plan
Together with you as our client we develop your vision, strategy and implementation plan about how to ‘become a data driven organisation’, ie. how to deploy data in your business and how to best organise this. Eg.:
- Develop a more or less disruptive data-driven business model
- Develop a very concrete data strategy for your organization
- Design your data-driven products, services and organization
INTERIM
Project managers and data professionals
We help you – together with your own people – to implement your plans, eg. with an interim project leader or project manager, and specialised data professionals, eg. data scientists, data engineers, analytics translators and ML engineers. Eg.:
- A program manager who ensures governance and funding for your digital transformation
- An interim Chief Data Officer, who sets up Data Science, Analytics and AI in your organization
- An interim team of Data Scientists, Data Engineers and Analytics Translators
RECRUITMENT
Executives, professionals and teams
We identify required in-house roles and functions. We help you recruit excellent permanent employees, eg. to form your data science team. We specialise in recruiting data executives, eg. CDO, and data science, analytics and artificial intelligence professionals. Eg.:
- Step-by-step replacement of our interim data professionals by your fixed employees
- Selecting and hiring a fixed Chief Data/Digital Officer for your organization
- Selecting and hiring fixed Data Scientists, Data Engineers and Analytics Translators
In addition, we help candidates to make the transformation for successful work in the data-driven economy. We do so with career advice and coaching or we arrange great permanent or temporary work for you.
Note. Especially for start-ups and scale-ups we are open for equity deals in longer lasting partnerships. Please contact us for more info.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
TEAMSPORT
Data & analytics is a teamsport. You need a team to effectively build data driven products and services, let alone a data driven organization. It may well start with one specialist, but ultimately you will want a team.
In fact, every data & analytics team should have at least a Data Scientist, a Data Engineer and an Analytics Translator.
So, we have a team focus: typically, we build or complement – organically or through startup acquihire – data & analytics teams for our customers. Often executive search of a data & analytics executive, e.g. a Chief Data Officer, is a decisive part of that.
WHAT ELSE … ☕
We may not have a flasy website, nor do we have a pingpong table or 26 blends of exotic coffee. We are pretty much no-nonsense. But what we are really fanatic about is this: happy customers, happy professionals and delivering top quality work!
PROFESSIONALS
INTERIM & RECRUITMENT
As the Data & Analytics profession matures, we see more and more specialization in the field. These are a few examples of frequently demanded roles.
Below, an example of how Data & Analytics could be organized:
Note. Above, we talk about functions, because that is easy to relate to. Your Data & Analytics efforts won’t work, though, without balanced teamwork and a focus on business results: read e.g. this or this Harvard Business Review article. A well-known method for this is DataOps.
If this makes you think twice, please invite us for a FREE workshop on how to organize Data & Analytics in your organization.
OTHER SPECIALISTS
Data science, analytics and AI are an important but still young field. Names for roles and functions are often not yet unambiguous. And many combinations of roles exist. Also there are many related roles, such as Lean & Agile Coaches, Scrum Masters, DevOps and a number of IT and business functions.
And some roles do not have enough exposure. For example, we think, that the role of Analytics Translator currently gets far too little attention. And don’t forget the roles of eg. Data Tester, Data Steward, and Data Consultant.
So, there are many other names for data & analytics specialists. Often these roles are named after a specific application or technology, like ML Expert. Of course, we are ready to help you find the right candidate or job. Such roles include e.g.:
Also, it is important to note that Analytics Translators, Data Analysts and Data Product Managers usually have a specialization in an industry sector, e.g. financial services (FinTech) or healthcare (MedTech), or a functional specialization, e.g. HRM (People Analytics) or logistics (Smart Supply Chain, e.g. combined with IoT and Blockchain).
