About Witanalytica

The Architects of Data-Driven Transformation

A husband-and-wife founded consultancy that turns complex data into strategic assets, across 8+ industries and counting.

Our Story

Born from real-world experience, built for real-world impact

Witanalytica was founded in 2019 by Cristian Ionescu and Anastasia Staniloiu, a husband-and-wife team with a shared conviction: every business, regardless of size, deserves access to data analytics that drives real strategic outcomes.

After years in companies like Honeywell, Ericsson, and Microsoft, we kept seeing the same gap: brilliant organisations sitting on valuable data they couldn't unlock. Legacy systems, siloed teams, and the rush toward “Industry 4.0” buzzwords without the right analytical foundations.

We started Witanalytica to bridge that gap: translating business strategy into measurable data products and helping companies build the analytics capabilities they actually need, not the ones a vendor wants to sell them.

Witanalytica helped us transition from Excel to a dynamic dashboard, allowing us to view all the relevant data and the KPIs that we track as a business. Instead of having our developers code an interface for weeks, we can now instantly accomplish this process through an interface, eliminating the need for manual coding.
