Our Story

Mike Bartley
Founder and CEO

Alpinum Consulting was founded in 2016 by Dr. Mike Bartley, a long-time contributor to the design verification space with more than three decades of hands-on and leadership experience. Recognizing a growing gap between evolving DV challenges and the available solutions on the market, Mike set out to create a consultancy focused not just on theory, but on delivering grounded, practical results.

From those early days, Alpinum has expanded into a global consultancy with clients across Europe, the US, and Asia. What remains unchanged is our commitment to staying technically hands-on, collaborative, and responsive. We believe that solving tough engineering problems starts with real conversations, flexible thinking, and a deep understanding of the industry’s pace and complexity.
