Growing a specialist company in AI and data analytics from just over 20 to more than 110 employees in only a few years, requires more than technical expertise.

Danir
12/18/2025
This year, our theme explores something deeply rooted in Danir’s way of thinking and evolving – organic growth.

Danir

For someone used to starting and building companies from scratch, a CEO role at Danir might seem like an unusual choice – after all, Danir is hardly a startup.
