Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Clarance is a data leader with 11 years of experience building analytical and ML infrastructure across fintech and research-focused organisations, currently heading the Data Platform at Wave Mobile Money. He has scaled data science teams and systems at M-KOPA—delivering forecasting, causal inference, and experiment tooling that sped up analysis from days to hours—and earlier grew Busara’s research lab into one of Africa’s largest behavioral labs. David combines strong econometrics and engineering chops (dbt, large relational refactors, ML deployment pipelines) with hands-on research design, metric rationalization, and operational pragmatism. He’s equally comfortable reducing billion-row query times as he is teaching data science in low-resource settings or running moth- and bird-focused conservation projects, reflecting a rare mix of technical leadership and field-oriented curiosity.
