Josh Williams

Account Manager

I joined The Information Lab in January 2023 after studying Environment and Business at The University of Leeds. Subsequently, I gained experience in Private Equity Recruitment, specialising in the contracting data space. It was during this time that I first encountered Tableau, Alteryx, and Power BI, and discovered the exceptional data consulting talent nurtured at The Data School.

My passion for data stemmed from its increasing impact on sports over the past decade. Not only does data refine strategies, enhance training methods and give teams and athletes a competitive edge, it also offers fans a deeper understanding, making sports more engaging and informed. This crossover of many business applications became a driving force for me.

My goal is to expand The Data School's reach, introducing it to new businesses and different teams within our existing client base. I aim to help organisations become more data literate, contributing to the Data School's growth and reputation while empowering businesses to harness the potential of data. This aspiration fuels my role within the company.

Anything Outdoors!

Beyond my professional life, you'll often find me on a field, pitch, or court. Regularly, I engage in the physically and mentally demanding sports of rugby and golf.

Additionally, I embrace an annual endurance challenge, recently completing charity bike rides from London to Paris and from Coast to Coast in the UK, as well as the Yorkshire Three Peaks in under 10 hours. The Hackney Half Marathon was another exhilarating achievement. Looking ahead, my goals for the upcoming years include tackling a full marathon and ultimately striving to complete a 70.3 Ironman event.
