Senior🎓
Top SchoolTom Firth is a founder and data-first product leader with nine years of experience building scalable data platforms and AI-driven customer experience tools. He founded Cotera to turn fragmented CX data into production-ready analytics and AI agents that let non-technical teams extract actionable insights without a large data organization. Prior to Cotera he led data product and engineering efforts at Stockopedia, migrating systems to AWS/Kubernetes and delivering core proprietary datasets used across the business. His background as a financial analyst and auditor gives him a practical focus on data quality, reproducibility, and measurable impact. A Y Combinator W22 alum with an MSc in Software Engineering from Oxford, he combines startup grit with rigorous engineering practices.
