What MDW does

MDW (My Data Works Group) is a data and AI consulting firm founded in March 2020 in Geneva, Switzerland, with operational hubs in Geneva, Madrid, and Paris and a stated headcount of more than 50 experts. The firm operates under two disclosed legal entities — MDW Partners SA in Switzerland and MDW IBERIA 2020 S.L. in Spain — and is led by CEO Maxime Gouffé. Its positioning is that of a Microsoft-focused data and AI specialist, evidenced by Microsoft Gold Partner status, the Analytics on Microsoft Azure Advanced Specialization, Microsoft Gold Cloud Platform Partner designation, and Power BI Solution Partner status, alongside five consecutive Microsoft Partner of the Year awards from 2021 through 2025.

The firm's service portfolio spans data platform modernization, business intelligence, and applied AI/ML delivery on the Microsoft stack. Technical capabilities include Generative AI implementations leveraging Azure OpenAI, machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision, retrieval-augmented generation chatbots, predictive analytics, and anomaly detection, supporting text and multimodal inputs. Beyond pure services, MDW has begun productizing AI offerings such as an AIoT Operations Platform and Agentic AI solutions, signaling movement toward repeatable intellectual property. The Microsoft ecosystem is both the primary technical substrate and the principal go-to-market channel, with vendor co-sell expected to be a meaningful pipeline source.

The business model is professional services consulting, with approximately 95% of revenue derived from consulting engagements. MDW's client base is concentrated in large enterprises, with 80% of clients reporting employee counts between 2,000 and 500,000 and one disclosed client operating across 130 markets. Industry verticals served include manufacturing, banking, insurance, luxury, retail, hospitality, energy, and consumer goods. Engagement structures include multi-year contracts, providing a degree of recurring revenue within a project-based services model. Pricing is consistent with senior Microsoft-stack consulting benchmarks, though specific rate cards are not disclosed.
