Shaping the future of data

At HICO, we believe data holds the power to unlock human potential. Founded in 2011 by Michael Schwan and Peter Ellerau, HICO’s mission—reflected in its name, High Coordination—is to enable fact-based, transparent decision-making that drives collaboration and success.
Early challenges refined our focus, and
collaborations with clients like Warner Brothers, Siemens, and Novartis taught us the importance of aligning with the right partners and building adaptable systems. In 2019, Bastian Lossen joined as co-owner, bringing his strategic expertise to elevate HICO further. When Michael and Bastian first met in Zurich, they connected over values
and a vision to build something meaningful together. This synergy has shaped HICO’s future as a platform blending cutting-edge tech with a people-first approach. Today, our team remains dedicated to creating lasting value—for us and, most importantly, for our clients.
Path to leadership: key moments
in HICO history
At HICO, we envision a new horizon for data leaders: a state of unified intelligence. And our clients get to orchestrate it. In light of progress, too many organisations struggle with a fixed mindset.
In the age of AI, fear of change slows progress, makes alignment impossible and risks losing a competitive edge. To break free, data leaders need trust, unity, and a clear path forward.
Day by day, we build a world where everyone can act on insights and align on shared goals. A future where everyone is empowered to make data-driven decisions and take informed action, from the core to the very edges of your organisation.
HICO helps data leaders make their data sing. The future of unified intelligence starts now, and we're here to help you orchestrate it.
