Top SchoolSimon Gauld is a seasoned data engineering leader with 11+ years of experience building cloud-native data platforms and pipelines, now serving as Group Director at LSEG Data & Analytics. He has progressed from hands-on engineering and big-data architecture at Channel 4 to senior cloud and multi-cloud data leadership at LSEG, with deep practical experience across AWS, GCP, Spark, Airflow, Terraform and streaming systems. Known for balancing high availability and cost-efficiency, he has repeatedly designed observability, automation and infrastructure to operate large-scale, production data ecosystems. His background spans mobile, telecom and media systems back to early embedded and systems work, giving him a rare combination of low-level engineering instincts and strategic platform leadership. A pragmatic tinkerer who jokes that "all this code are belong to /dev/null," he still ships code and tooling while leading teams to deliver robust data products.
