With a background as a software engineer Jenny started out writing code for submarines, but quickly found a love of all things data. Moving from building large scale data systems to leading the development of new data products at Ordnance Survey, delivering innovative new data and analytics solutions in the Utilities industry and driven data adoption and strategy at The Maritime and Coastguard Agency. Now focusing on enabling data sharing across government in her role as Chief Data Architect, Jennifer has seen first-hand the benefits that sharing and linking datasets can bring, and what happens when you put the data in the hands of the people who need it.
