Seymour Duncker

CEO & Founder

Seymour, founder and CEO of iCharts, is the product visionary with a knack for pioneering new markets as they are shaping. Seymour has always been thrilled by data insights and the process of how those get distributed. Seymour got his business degree at the University of Passau in Germany. Prior to iCharts he helped the board of SAP drive their long-term product strategy and annual R&D budget allocation and prior to SAP, he was involved in two start-ups in the early CRM and SaaS spaces. Seymour built his own consulting firm facilitating M&A transactions between Germany and India.

In 2009, after successfully launching iCharts at TechCrunch in September 2008, Seymour decided to do the big leap of faith and moved to Silicon Valley with his dear wife and three children. When not working (which hardly ever happens) he loves to spend time with his family, hike, bike and ski. Seymour is deeply fascinated about everything that flows, energy, the ocean and, of course, charts spreading on the web.
