Paul is passionate about analytics and how it can impact the world around us. This enthusiasm has been honed by 20 years of using analytics in a range of senior leadership roles across a variety of industries. A common interest in sport and data brought Paul and Jason together back in 2009 to build and sell their first venture. One of Paul’s strengths is to hear the problems faced by business leaders and decision-makers in their own words and link that to potential approaches to find solutions. This is backed by a proven ability to recruit, grow and encourage high-performing analytics teams.

Jason has spent much of his professional career assembling evidence to tell stories. Jason had 15 years experience in creatively solving problems with Y&R advertising as their National Ideas Director before setting up DOT with Paul in 2014. One of Jason's strengths is his ability to simplify and link complex data and analytic concepts. This drives meaningful engagement with leaders and decision-makers by growing their understanding of what is possible in their own words. Jason is also a board member for Cricket Wellington, Cricket Museum, EightyOne and a selector for the White Ferns.
