Last position:
Information Security & GRC Expert at GLG (Gerson Lehrman Group)
As a Council Member at GLG (Gerson Lehrman Group), the world’s leading expert network, I provide organizations, investment firms, and consulting companies with expert discussions on demand – wherever specialized knowledge in information security, IT governance, and regulatory compliance is needed.
My assessments are based on many years of practical experience in highly regulated industries: from building and implementing information security management systems (ISMS according to ISO 27001), IT risk and vulnerability management, and business continuity (ISO 22301) to the practical implementation of European regulations such as DORA, NIS2, BAIT, and the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).
The cooperation is project- and discussion-based. I provide decision-makers with a practical perspective gained from real-world experience on cyber risks, security governance, and operational resilience – exactly when it is needed.

About the technology
From requirements to structure
Data Modeling defines how information is understood, connected and stored across a business. Experts turn domain requirements into conceptual, logical and physical models that clarify entities, attributes, relationships and business rules. The work creates a shared design for applications, reporting and data governance.
Models for real systems
A well-designed model supports consistent transactions, dependable analytics and easier system change. Specialists work on relational schemas, dimensional models, master data structures and data products. They also document lineage, ownership and validation rules so teams can use information with confidence.
Methods and tooling
Data Modeling may use entity-relationship modeling, UML, data vault or star-schema approaches, depending on the system and its goals. Professionals commonly work with SQL databases, cloud warehouses, lakehouses and NoSQL stores, supported by modeling, documentation and version-control tools. Strong SQL and an understanding of APIs, ETL and data integration are essential.
When companies need help
- A new application needs a clear schema and durable relationships
- Reporting teams need trusted dimensions, facts and definitions
- Legacy databases require analysis, normalization or redesign
- Cloud migration demands mapping between warehouses, lakes and source systems
Freelance expertise is useful when an internal team needs an independent design review, a focused delivery phase or specialist support during a migration. In Hamburg, collaboration may combine remote workshops with on-site sessions for domain discovery and stakeholder alignment.
What strong specialists deliver
Good professionals connect business language with implementation detail. They question ambiguous definitions, identify duplication and choose normalization or denormalization deliberately. Their deliverables can include model diagrams, data dictionaries, schema specifications, mapping rules, governance recommendations and handover documentation.
Choosing the right professional
Look for evidence of models that reached production, not only polished diagrams. Ask how the specialist handled changing requirements, conflicting definitions, performance constraints and data quality issues. Experience with the relevant industry context matters, as does the ability to explain trade-offs clearly to product, engineering, analytics and compliance stakeholders.
Frequently asked questions
What clients ask us most about Data Modeling — answered in short.
Data Modeling is used to define how business information is represented, related and governed. It supports application databases, reporting layers, warehouses, lakehouses, master data and integrated data products.
Data Modeling describes information and its relationships at conceptual, logical and physical levels. Database design focuses more directly on implementing that structure in a particular database, including indexes, constraints and performance choices.
The right approach depends on the system and its purpose. Data Modeling for an operational application often favors clear relational structures, while analytics programs may use dimensional modeling or Data Vault to support history, integration and reporting needs.
A strong Data Modeling specialist usually brings SQL, data integration, ETL or ELT, data quality and governance knowledge. Experience with cloud warehouses, APIs, BI tools and domain analysis can also be important for a complete delivery.
The need depends on scope, system complexity and the quality of existing documentation. Data Modeling work for a focused schema review may require a different profile from a broad migration involving many source systems, business domains and reporting consumers.
Yes. Data Modeling is well suited to remote collaboration through shared diagrams, documentation, workshops and version-controlled specifications. On-site sessions in Hamburg can still help with domain discovery, whiteboarding and alignment across business and technical teams.
Ask for anonymized examples of models and the decisions behind them. A capable Data Modeling professional explains naming, grain, keys, history, normalization, quality rules and trade-offs, then connects those choices to business needs and operating constraints.
Typical Data Modeling deliverables include conceptual, logical and physical diagrams, a data dictionary, schema definitions, source-to-target mappings and governance guidance. Depending on the engagement, the specialist may also support implementation, testing, migration and team handover.
