Background

About Malik Assan

Financial Intelligence Analyst at ClearVision Consulting — helping SMEs modernize controlling (management accounting) through automation, dashboards, and data-driven decision-making. I specialize in building systems with Power BI and modern data/ML tools that translate complexity into clarity. My academic background includes an MA & BA in Economics with a Math minor, where I trained in microeconomics, econometrics, game theory, contract and auction theory. I once considered an academic career, and that rigor still shapes my professional approach today. Beyond the technical, I bring a mosaic cultural formation: • Rooted in Kazakh heritage, shaped by Russian classics and post-Soviet perspectives. • Educated in an English-speaking, US-style academic environment, with exposure to quantitative and machine learning methods. • Now building my life and career in Vienna, the heart of Central Europe, immersed in German language, culture, and intellectual traditions. Fluent in English, Russian, Kazakh, and German, I move between contexts with ease — from technical analytics to strategic conversations, from Central Asia to Central Europe. I believe in the power of data, but also in the power of narratives — because strategy lives where numbers and people meet.
