Throughout our careers as executives in data, analytics and digital transformation, we realised that there was always one factor that could make or break any strategy or program…

People.

Hiring, developing and retaining talent in the data and digital arena is hard. Yet, the data talent marketplace is underserved. Recruitment remains marred by bad practices and the current boom in digital spending has attracted many inexperienced people to suddenly brand themselves as data, analytics and even artificial intelligence experts.

By combining our hands on data leadership experience with years of experience and qualifications in human behavior, we are passionate about doing things differently and bringing a refreshing change of approach to the market.
