Nigel Shardlow
Nigel works across AI, data, product and strategy. He first worked with AI in 1989 while studying Cognitive Science, and has since held roles spanning data science, simulation, marketing, product development and the practical use of AI in organisations.
Most recently he held senior roles at GroupM, working on AI and data strategy, governance, product development and decision-support tools. He helped build Sandtable, a data science and simulation consultancy later acquired by WPP, and was a co-founder of Zygo Communications, which developed SMS-based group messaging technology for mobile carriers.
He is particularly interested in helping organisations decide where AI is useful, where it is risky, and how to deploy it effectively without losing sight of its limitations. He has a D.Phil in Philosophy from Oxford and an MSc in Cognitive Science from Manchester.
