Our Journey

Our founding & vision

Blend360 was launched in the summer of 2015 while Patrick was on sabbatical and Tim was running Merkle Europe. Patrick and Tim wrote down the idea for the company as a simple picture on a piece of paper. At the base of the drawing was a company with strong values, a passion for working with elite people and a focus on data science. At the top were core capabilities to deliver data science solutions for companies. Each signed the paper, and committed funds to start the company.

Our strategy & foundation

Patrick set out to find a company to buy that would give us a start to build from. He then recruited a top analytical growth partner, Ozgur Dogan. Tim finished his duties as President of Merkle Europe and joined Blend360 when Merkle Europe was well-established and in good hands. They both focused all of their energy on adding great people and delivering high impact for clients. The rest is history.
