About SenMon

Senior expertise. Direct responsibility. No unnecessary layers.

SenMon GmbH is an independent engineering and technology management consultancy based in Bavaria, Germany. It exists to help organisations deliver technically complex initiatives — by bringing engineering understanding and management responsibility together in one place.

The company

SenMon was founded on a simple observation: the projects that struggle most are those where the people managing delivery do not understand the technical substance, and the people who understand the technology are not given responsibility for delivery. SenMon closes that gap.

The company operates deliberately as a boutique consultancy. It provides specialised consulting and management services through direct senior-level expertise rather than through a large consulting organisation. There are no account managers between the client and the consultant, no junior staff learning on the client’s project, and no hand-offs.

SenMon serves automotive OEMs and suppliers, industrial technology companies, engineering organisations and enterprise IT departments — primarily in Germany and the DACH region, with international engagements where appropriate.

Dmytro Katonov

Managing Director and Principal Consultant

Dmytro Katonov leads SenMon GmbH and personally delivers its consulting engagements. He has more than twenty years of professional experience in automotive engineering, software development, systems engineering and technical project management, with more than ten years in project and programme management roles.

His career began in embedded and automotive software development — navigation and positioning algorithms, on-board and off-board navigation prototypes, HMI, diagnostics and camera subsystems — and progressed through systems engineering and technical leadership into project and programme management across OEM, Tier-1 and Tier-2 environments. He has coordinated internal and external teams across several countries and driven multiple automotive projects towards start of production in parallel.

In recent years his focus has been the management of cloud migration and technology transformation programmes in enterprise IT: structuring complex delivery environments, coordinating external technology suppliers and statements of work, aligning technical deliverables with requirements, and improving delivery predictability.

This progression — from engineering to management, without leaving the engineering behind — is the foundation of SenMon’s consulting approach.
