About Us
Soundience was created in 2002 to develop and apply interesting new computer modeling approaches to complex business problems. The common thread in all our recent work is collaborative problem solving with clients, supported by custom software. Most of this software is now web-based, with collaborative capabilities build in to make it easier for team members to learn and share with each other.

Subsequently, he was the Executive Director at Goldman Sachs responsible for internal audit and internal consultancy across Europe, a partner in Bossard Consultants, and a Vice President of SRI Consulting.

Andreas Kaempf specialises in the development and application of leading-edge
quantitative models to help solve complex business problems. Over the last
eight years, Andreas has been involved in diverse projects across a broad range
of industries, including telecommunications, the legal profession,
pharmaceuticals, consumer goods, energy, financial services, and defence. Much
of his work has been in the field of system dynamics, but he has also applied
social network analysis, option pricing theory, agent-based simulation, and
other approaches. Andreas builds custom software (mostly web based) to make
some of these approaches easier to use and more insightful.
