Compass Austria Is Expanding the Management Team with Several Promotions: Clemens Danter was appointed managing director of the Compass database and authorized signatory at Compass Publishing, and Augustin Studeny is now heading product management at Compass.

“The continuous growth and constant expansion of our services are now also visible in the organizational structure,” says Hermann Futter, Managing Director of the Compass Group. “Clemens Danter and Augustin Studeny are two experts in management positions who know the company very well and will continue to drive future development.”

Clemens Danter: In the team since 2000
Clemens Danter began his career in 2000 at plan.at, a subsidiary of the Compass Group for geographical Internet applications. Three years later, he was instrumental in setting up his own Compass data center. At that time the department was called “EDV” and had five employees. In the mid-2000s, the Compass database was created, which now employs 45 people.

Clemens Danter subsequently built up the service desk department from 2012 and the product management department from 2019.

“In these 20 years of my activities, Compass transformed from a publisher to an IT service provider that used digitalization to make business information, as an online product, easily accessible and understandable,” says Clemens Danter, Managing Director of the Compass database. And further: “The business compass has now become a convenience good – a platform that has become indispensable for business people. The integration of new technologies such as AI, especially machine learning, as well as innovative data management will help to continually expand our services and offer them, as usual, in top quality.”

Augustin Studeny: From professional footballer to manager
Mag. Augustin Studeny, a business economist, is a former professional footballer (First Vienna FC 1894, LASK) and started his career in various start-up companies with a focus on fan engagement and training planning for top-class sport. He has been working at Compass as a portal and product manager for almost ten years. From now on he will lead the product management team, which has set itself the goal of further expanding the business compass as a comprehensive platform for relevant business information.

“Data is everywhere. Information is available from us. This slogan is not only on our homepage, but also in the family register. It’s about providing current, comprehensible and at the same time reliable information from a variety of sources. We face this challenge every day and our customers save valuable time and resources,” says Augustin Studeny, Head of Product Management, with a view to the market.
