Top SchoolAlex Otway is a data scientist with eight years’ experience applying statistical methods and political insight to public policy and campaigning, currently working at the Labour Party after helping to build data capacity at the Tony Blair Institute. He combines an MSc in Data Science (Distinction) with a First-Class degree in Politics and International Relations, enabling him to translate complex datasets into actionable policy recommendations and persuasive visual narratives. His background spans rapid-turnaround briefing for senior stakeholders, election and polling analysis, and multi-disciplinary consulting—skills sharpened by projects ranging from homelessness analytics at GMCA to a carbon and rail feasibility study in Oman. A lecturer in social statistics, he brings both teaching experience and a practitioner’s rigor, and has a track record of turning limited or messy data into defensible, influence-driving evidence.
