Jennifer Brooker

Focusing on enabling data sharing across government in her role as Chief Data Architect at CDDO Jennifer has seen first-hand the benefits that sharing and linking datasets can bring, and what happens when you put the data in the hands of the people who need it.

With a background as a software engineer Jennifer started out writing code for submarines, but quickly found a love of all things data. Over the past 20 years Jennifer has moved from building large scale GIS systems to researching geospatial linked data, leading the development of new data products at Ordnance Survey, delivered innovative new data and analytics solutions in the Utilities industry and driven data adoption and strategy at The Maritime and Coastguard Agency.
