Data, digital, board games, Beyonce

I’m an independent consultant in data standards, infrastructure, policy and governance. Increasingly, as data becomes a driving force in debates about artificial intelligence, privacy and surveillance I’ve been drawn into work in these areas too. You can find out more about my professional background at LinkedIn.

I’m efficient, effective and creative in how I approach my work. I’m passionate about helping people and organisations use data more effectively. If you have a project or an idea you’d like some help with, email me using the contact form on the About page.
