Summary
Jan Strozyk is a data journalist and leader with eight years of experience translating complex and often leaked datasets into investigative stories that shape public understanding. Currently Director of Data and Journalism Projects at DARC after senior data-editing roles at OCCRP, he blends a computer science foundation from 42 Berlin and Columbia’s Lede program with newsroom training from Henri-Nannen to run multidisciplinary investigations end-to-end. He’s skilled at building and managing teams that combine tooling, data pipelines, and narrative craft to make opaque information accessible and actionable. Based in Berlin, Jan brings a reporter’s skepticism and an engineer’s rigor to projects that prioritize verification, impact, and audience trust—often surfacing connections others miss.
