Tom Watson

I'm an explorer, advisor, and technologist working at the intersection of data, AI, and social impact. I help purpose led organisations harness technology, data, and design to drive learning, resilience, and systems change.

I've advised on a wide range of social innovation projects, including serving as AI and data advisor to the Longitude Prize on Dementia, supporting startups and researchers applying machine learning to improve the lives of people affected by dementia. My portfolio spans work with the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, Social Tech Trust, ClientEarth, Power to Change, and the Lloyds Bank Foundation, developing new data infrastructures, digital tools, insight systems and approaches to learning across the charity and public sectors.

I'm a passionate advocate for Open Infrastructure, and using Principles to guide organisations.
