Calum Inverarity

The ODI was founded in 2012 by Sir Tim Berners-Lee and Sir Nigel Shadbolt, placing us at the heart of the data economy. Our primary mission is to foster transparency, accountability, and innovation through data. We are independent of government, non-partisan and non-profit, making us the trusted delivery partner for corporate, public, and civil society organisations. We are funded through our market-leading commercial activities, and grants from philanthropic and government bodies worldwide. We work to advance trust in data by providing training, consultancy services, tools and guides - all designed to enable organisations to become more confident and capable in their stewardship and use of data. For more than ten years, we have conducted world-class research with the guidance of our founders, building an extensive body of knowledge and expertise on which to build our professional practice.
