About Us

Data Science Partners was founded in 2024 by two long-time colleagues and close friends, James and Ed. They share a strong work ethic, a commitment to professional standards, and a drive to build meaningful careers delivering work that creates real business impact.

James and Ed began their careers at Deloitte, where they delivered—and later managed—high-impact data science projects for some of the world’s largest organisations. Their work spanned multiple sectors, including FMCG, banking, private equity, sports governing bodies, retail, healthcare, telecommunications, the public sector, and defence. They also worked across a range of business functions—Sales, Operations, Distribution, Marketing, and Finance—partnering closely with senior executives to solve complex problems and drive meaningful results.

Along the way, they’ve seen what works—and what doesn’t. They understand the frustrations clients face: unclear project scopes, solutions that miss the mark, and consultancy teams that overcomplicate rather than clarify. This breadth of experience gave James and Ed the confidence to take their expertise directly to businesses, leading them to found Data Science Partners—where they could work more closely with clients, focus entirely on delivery, and take greater ownership of the impact they create.

Today, Data Science Partners is proud to partner with businesses of all sizes, helping them make smarter, data-driven decisions that deliver tangible value.
