2018 started at pace and with numerous projects underway we were really delighted to welcome a couple of much anticipated new faces to our team!

Our new Chief Data Scientist, Dr Johan Kåhrström, finally arrived. Jeremy and Johan have had the opportunity of working together previously and we were incredibly pleased when he agreed to join our leadership team.

Johan is a passionate and experienced technical leader, who will be shaping the direction of our technical growth and building a curious, diverse and engaged team. Johan has an enormous array of data science and machine learning experience, and we are excited about getting him out into the community to talk about what he knows.

We were also fortunate to have James Ahn start as our new Outreach Manager. James will be regularly reaching out to our community and customers, ensuring we communicate all the interesting projects we’re up to and all the other interesting stuff the team chat about and want to share more widely. First up will be some short films on our recent work and more background on what we do.

We are working towards developing a culture which encourages balance, personal life and diversity within the team. James is working with us part time while he finishes off his Economics degree and we were very happy to support him with flexible working.

We started Data Mettle with the mission to use scientific curiosity and ingenuity to tackle real world challenges, we are now growing with an amazing team to achieve this and we couldn’t be happier!
