Martin Absenger

I help people think clearly when decisions are constrained, signals are weak, and consequences matter.

Strategy, data, and execution across industry and technology – with experience in Europe and North America.

Short context

I spend most of my time in situations where clarity is difficult but necessary:
early decisions, structural uncertainty, economic pressure, and long-term consequences.
My work sits between strategy and execution. I am not interested in tools without accountability, or ideas detached from reality.

What I engage with

  • Critical situations and strategic dead ends

  • Idea exchange and structured disagreement

  • Early signals across technology, industry, and markets

  • Decisions under constraint – time, capital, regulation, or uncertainty

How I Think

Picture of Martin Absenger

  • I am interested in situations where clarity is difficult and necessary at the same time.

  • I tend to work where signals are incomplete, incentives are misaligned, and decisions cannot be reversed easily. In those contexts, more information rarely helps. Better thinking does.

  • I approach strategy as an operating discipline, not a theoretical one. I care about how decisions behave under pressure, not how they sound in hindsight.

  • Data and technology are useful only insofar as they improve economic understanding and decision quality. Without profit clarity or accountability, they are distractions.

  • I spend time across different industries because patterns travel better than best practices. My role is often to notice those patterns early and make them discussable.

  • I value conversations over frameworks, and precision over persuasion. If an idea does not survive scrutiny, it is not yet useful.

Context

  • I work across strategy, data, and industrial systems, with operating exposure in Europe and North America.

  • My background spans analytics, technology, and infrastructure-related environments with long decision cycles and economic pressure.

  • I am involved in several companies and platforms, but this site is not about them. It is about how I think and who I am useful to.

Focus

Where I Operate

Strategic clarity under uncertainty

I work with people facing decisions where:

  • constraints dominate options

  • consensus is misleading

  • speed creates false confidence

My role is often to slow thinking down enough for clarity to emerge.

Data & profit clarity

I am involved in data and analytics work where the objective is economic truth, not dashboards.
This includes work connected to DIVU, where the focus is on profit clarity, decision accountability, and operational relevance.

Industrial and regulated systems

I engage with long-cycle environments such as infrastructure, electrification, and regulated industries, where:

  • decisions compound over years

  • errors are expensive

  • optimism is not a strategy

Signals and amplification

I write, speak, and exchange ideas to surface early signals across domains – not to predict outcomes, but to improve judgment.
Some of this connects to projects and platforms I am involved in. Where relevant, they are linked.
