Stephanie Kearns

Data School Placement Lead

I joined the company as part of the Data School in 2017. Prior to that, I had worked as an Optimisation Analyst in the retail industry for a few years. Joining the Data School presented a great opportunity for me to learn from some of the best in the field.

During my time as both a Data School consultant and a Core team consultant, I had the opportunity to work with various companies such as PwC, the National Trust, HSBC, and Public Health Wales. My work covered a wide range of areas including HR, Finance, and Operational Risk.

My current role is often referred to as the Data School's sorting hat. I aim to help our consultants develop successful careers in data by assessing their skills, experience, and goals, and then matching them with the most suitable clients. I also collaborate closely with our Account Managers to understand our clients' needs and ensure we provide them with consultants who can add value to their businesses.

Exercise, but make it fun...

Previously, I enjoyed gamified running through half marathons and completing over 100 parkruns. However, I was ready for a new challenge. In early 2022, I discovered CrossFit when a new gym opened nearby. Having never really lifted weights before, I love seeing my progress and feeling stronger, not just in the gym, but also in my everyday life.
