Who are we?

Hi, I'm Lazaros Viastikopoulos, but everyone calls me Laz— it's much easier!

Over a decade ago, I embarked on my journey as a BI Developer, fuelled by a passion and curiosity for transforming raw data into meaningful insights. This led me from being an in-house developer and analyst in various roles to transitioning into consulting.

While working for a top Data & AI consultancy, I had the opportunity to establish and lead a Power BI practice. This role allowed me to hone my skills and develop proven approaches that were successfully implemented across a wide range of organisations. Through these experiences, I came to understand the challenges businesses face when trying to make sense of their data—the complexity, frustration, and countless hours spent extracting valuable insights.

That same passion and curiosity that sparked my career a decade ago still drives me today. It was this drive that inspired me to leave a comfortable role and start Metis BI. My goal is simple, to offer solutions that create real value for those I work with, and to do it my way—through trust, transparency, and honesty.

I am also thrilled that Paola Dyankova has joined Metis BI to support all clients and drive growth. Paola, who led strategic enterprise clients at Meta for Workplace and Quest for Business, will spearhead our sales and marketing efforts. Her ability to navigate the needs of large-scale enterprises perfectly complements my technical background, ensuring our clients receive the best possible guidance - from first engagement to solution delivery.

At Metis BI, webring a wealth of experience and proven methodologies to help businesses like yours overcome data challenges and transform their information into valuable insights. We are excited to share this journey with you and help you unlock the full potential of your data.
