James Maddison

Senior Consultant

James is responsible for leading the delivery of our consultancy offerings on data ethics. He works with organisations across several sectors to deliver support around the ethical considerations within data-enabled projects or services, enabling them to think more strategically about how data ethics can be embedded across their data practices.

James works with various clients to convene organisations that share a common role or challenge, through the ODI's popular peer-learning networks. In this way, he helps them to share knowledge and best practices in their work with data and to build the foundations for successful open data initiatives.
