Simon Stearn - Chief Data Officer

Simon Stearn

I'm Simon Stearn and I joined Warwick as the Chief Data Officer in May 2023, with the University being my first foray into the HE sector.

My journey in the software industry has been a dynamic one, with a focus on big data, data science, intelligent systems and automation.

I’ve had the privilege of contributing to startups in both the USA and the UK, cultivating a passion and expertise in building data teams that thrive on innovation to solve challenging problems.

Prior to joining the University, I held a similar role at Avon Products, Inc.

On a personal note, I’m a proud parent of four children, each at different stages in their lives – working, at university, or in school.
