Lukas Grebe
Analytics & data governance lead.Turning data into decisions since 2008.
I make data trustworthy enough to decide on. For 18 years I have designed tracking and data models, built and led analytics teams, and set up the governance that keeps an implementation correct long after launch. I work from Cologne, Germany.
What I do
- Data governance
- Measurement plans, documentation and clear ownership that keep an analytics implementation in its intended state.
- Analytics implementation
- GA4 data models, server-side tagging, consent management and platform migrations.
- Experimentation & CRO
- A/B testing programmes and conversion optimisation, run with in-house teams and agencies.
- Data literacy & teams
- Training and internal certification, and building and leading analytics teams.
- Systems & IoT
- Hands-on with Home Assistant, MQTT, KNX, eBus and energy metering, down to packet-level network analysis.
- AI agents
- Building an MCP server that gives AI agents structured access to a knowledge system; previously built a Langdock agent that works with Confluence documentation.
Selected work
- Led the migration to Google Analytics 4 for a national non-profit, with a new organisation-wide data model, server-side tracking and consent management taken from legal review to production.
- Supported the global analytics team of METRO, the world’s fourth-largest retailer, across 26 countries and 30+ internal client teams after its move from Adobe to Google Analytics; built tooling to document and manage 100+ analytics properties.
- Verified the tagging standard across the country setups of Douglas and cut verification time from two days to under 20 minutes per country.
- Built and led the business intelligence team at Chefkoch, Europe’s widest-reaching food website.
