Our Story
Our story began with a shared ambition between two entrepreneurs, each with a distinguished background in leading digital and operational advancements at global giants like Airbus. This unique blend of experiences, from the cutting-edge Big Tech companies to the complex engineering environments of Airbus, has instilled in us a profound understanding of diverse technological ecosystems. United by a passion for technological innovation and a commitment to making it accessible, we founded DE Solutions to turn this vision into a reality. Our firsthand experience in driving digital transformations on an international scale equips us with the unique insights and expertise necessary to tailor our solutions specifically to the needs of mid-sized and small businesses.
