About Us
Why we started Borg?
In 2021, Eric and Eric founded Borg Consulting after working at Google, Bol.com, McKinsey, and BCG. In those roles they noticed that many organizations invested heavily in data and AI but struggled to translate these investments into measurable business results.
Borg was created to bridge this gap. Combining strategic business vision, deep technical expertise, and practical commercial insight, we help medium-sized enterprises ensure their data and AI projects deliver tangible outcomes. Today, Borg Consulting guides ambitious businesses through complex strategic data and AI initiatives, turning potential into competitive advantage.
Why we are
named Borg?
The name Borg is inspired by two powerful associations. First, as many Star Trek fans will recognize, it references the highly efficient collective of cyborgs known for their unity and continuous assimilation of knowledge.
Secondly, Borg also refers to the internal system powering Google’s search engine at global scale. To lead change in the data of AI, we too have to continuously assimilate knowledge and our ability to scale adoption at client. We. are. Borg.
