Summary
Harry Robbins is a pragmatic technical leader and Principal Delivery Lead for Generative AI based in London, with 14 years’ experience delivering big data, analytics and infrastructure programmes that have generated billions in client revenue. He blends hands-on engineering, product-led delivery and commercial rigour—having conceived, sold and delivered over £20M of projects and run multi-disciplinary teams and multi-million pound budgets. Harry has repeatedly turned complex legacy data estates into strategic platforms (data mesh, event-driven architectures and inter-cloud interoperability) and delivered synthetic data and analytics products that reduced risk and accelerated migrations. As founder of Outlandish he grew a profitable agency serving clients like the BBC and Sanger Institute, and he brings that entrepreneurial, user-centred mindset to public-sector modernisation work. Notably, he pairs deep technical craft (data modelling, streaming analysis and automated pipelines) with pragmatic governance—introducing product catalogues, OKRs and consent-based decision making to scale reusable data products. He is currently focused on applying generative AI to practical, high-impact delivery problems rather than speculative research.
