Berlin, Germany
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMax Eckert is a data scientist and project owner based in Berlin with eight years of experience translating public policy needs into practical, open-data solutions for government. Currently at Technologiestiftung Berlin and CityLAB, he advises city and state governments on open-data infrastructure, creates training resources for civil servants, and leads prototypical apps and geospatial tools that make municipal data machine-readable and actionable. His background combines policy research for international organizations with hands-on product ownership, including a ministry-funded project to build a Post-Covid research data model. Trained at Hertie School (MSc Data Science for Public Policy) and NYU Abu Dhabi (BA, magna cum laude), he blends rigorous empirical methods with clear stakeholder communication. Notably, he bridges the gap between policy wonk and builder: he’s as comfortable designing research and tender proposals as he is shipping data visualizations and tooling for civic transparency.
