This appointment underscores Valtech’s continued commitment to shaping the future of composable technology and advancing open, connected ecosystems for enterprise innovation.
As a not-for-profit organization dedicated to promoting best-of-breed enterprise technology ecosystems, the MACH Alliance plays a critical role in helping enterprises navigate modular, API-first, cloud-native, and headless architectures. Valtech has been a founding and active member, consistently driving adoption, evangelism, and implementation of MACH principles across global markets.
Karl’s elevation to the executive board brings deep expertise in both data strategy and AI to the organization. His leadership will help shape the future direction of the Alliance, ensuring enterprises are empowered to build truly agentic ecosystems — made possible through open, connected, and best-of-need composable solutions.
“This is an affirmation of Valtech’s leadership in composability,”
said Casper Rasmussen, Chief Transformation Officer and former President of the MACH Alliance.
“Karl’s election ensures that the MACH Alliance will benefit from our depth in data, AI, and modular architecture thinking, and that we continue easing the path forward for enterprises seeking composable innovation.”
“I’m honored to join the executive board of the MACH Alliance,” said Karl Hampson, CTO of Data & AI at Valtech Europe. “My ambition is to contribute practical leadership in advancing composable ecosystems that bridge AI, data, and connection at scale.”
This development reinforces Valtech’s positioning at the intersection of data, AI, and composable architecture. As enterprises across retail, CPG, automotive, and beyond strive to break free from vendor lock-in and technology limiting innovation, Valtech — through leadership within MACH — remains at the forefront of guiding transformation.
