Founder
Fabian Chessell
Experience
- Deputy PM’s advisor @ MoJ & FCDO
- McKinsey strategy consultant
- >20yrs in public services data
Motivation
I first saw the power of data in public services when I built algorithms that spotted unsafe hospital wards. I’m motivated to change this because I can see how much avoidable suffering our current system leads to.
Founder
Mor Rubinstein
Experience
- Head of Data Strategy Parkinson’s UK
- Special Data Advisor – NHS England
- Founder – Feminist Data Club UK
Motivation
Too often, outdated bureaucratic processes originally designed to safeguard privacy are failing in practice. They sometimes hinder our ability to share information in ways that could genuinely improve lives.
Senior Advisor
Neil McIvor
Experience
- Chief Data Officer @ DfE
- Chief Statistician @ DWP
- Delivered new 15m datums/day collection from 18k schools
Motivation
Government wastes millions of pounds of taxpayers’ money through not sharing data that help us understand what policies work. Those responsible for safeguarding often do not have all the information they need, putting lives at risk.
Designer
Ben Dunn Flores
Experience
- Service designer for MoJ & DfE
- Start-up founder for housing co-ops
- Building an MP casework management system
Motivation
People should be able to interact with their public services, no matter their capabilities or time. The data government already has is a resource that it should use to make citizens’ lives better, and could use to improve the state of the UK.
