Meet Karl Björnsson, one of the newest consultants on Eva Chrona`s Swedish team!
Before stepping into the world of data, Karl studied Sound Engineering at Luleå University of Technology and went on to work across TV, radio, theatre and live concerts. After a career change, he studied Business Intelligence at Nackademin – a move that eventually brought him to Climber.
Karl first joined us as an intern and quickly felt at home with our clear structure and strong focus on learning and development. Just before summer, he took the next step and joined the team as a consultant.
Today, he’s diving deeper into Microsoft Fabric and Power BI – and recently added the DP-600 certification to his achievements. Together with his DP-700, Karl now holds two Microsoft Fabric certifications!
With a love of problem-solving, digging deep into new topics and constantly learning, we have a feeling there may be more certifications to come.
And when he’s not working with data? You might find Karl in his own framing workshop, where he frames paintings and other works of art.
We’re very happy you decided to continue your journey with us, Karl.
A warm welcome to the team from all of us at Climber! 💜
What if a price change that once took a week could happen within 24 hours?

But the technology is only part of the story.
Our latest customer case explores how we worked alongside Lincolnshire Co-op to turn complex pricing data into trusted, actionable insight - and deliver a solution that launched ahead of schedule.

#PowerBI #RetailAnalytics #PricingIntelligence
On 22 September, we brought together people from healthcare, logistics, finance, retail, transport, and the charity sector for a Data & AI event in Utrecht. The conversation centred on one key question: how do you turn AI into real value?
The conclusion was remarkably consistent: the technology isn`t the problem, the foundation is. Building a prototype takes a day. Bringing it into production responsibly takes months.
Our five key takeaways from the day:
1. Foundation before tools
2. Start with the process, not the product
3. Culture and adoption are the biggest lever
4. Governance accelerates
5. Build in trust from the start
A big thank you to all participants for the open and honest conversations, and to Guy Meintjes at Qlik for an inspiring demo!

Snowflake World Tour touched down in Stockholm yesterday ❄️
Magnus Petersson-Ahrholt and Jonas Grundström were at 3Arena for a full day of interesting sessions, good conversations, and catching up with both familiar and new faces.
It was a great opportunity to connect with the Snowflake community, and get fresh perspectives on the latest developments in data, AI, and what’s coming next.
Thanks to everyone who made it a great day - and to Snowflake for bringing the community together in Stockholm!
We`re heading to this year’s FabCon! Gareth Wilson and James Merrills are representing Climber at FabCon in Barcelona from 28 September to 1 October.
With a packed agenda ahead, they’ll be exploring what’s on the horizon for Microsoft Fabric, hearing from experts and the wider community, and connecting with others working across the Microsoft data space.
It’s a great opportunity to exchange ideas, learn how others are approaching their data challenges, and come back with fresh perspectives we can use to help our customers get even more from Microsoft Fabric.
Heading to FabCon too? Why not catch up with Gareth and James while they’re there? https://www.climberbi.co.uk/contact-us/

Happy Friday! A throwback to the Snowflake Partner Network event we attended last week. ❄️
Brilliant to hear about all the latest product news and developments, and even better to catch up with old friends and meet so many new ones.
Captured in the photos are Jonas Grundström and Magnus Petersson-Ahrholt from Climber, together with Sebastian Nordlöf, Max Zetterlund, Edvard Lundberg and Linda Borelius from Snowflake.
Different data workloads need different storage models - but that shouldn’t mean building and maintaining separate pipelines for each one.
Join Thomas Cotterill at our upcoming webinar to explore how Qlik Talend Cloud supports four storage models - Data Warehouse Automation, Knowledge Marts, Iceberg and Mirroring - and where each fits.
📅 Wednesday 14 October
⏰ 14:00 BST
Get practical guidance on reducing duplication, simplifying your data architecture and choosing the right storage model for each workload.
