Tom Smith

Tom joined the Data School following an MSc in Sport Analytics and Technologies at Loughborough University London. He applied to the programme after being introduced to Tableau in an analytics module and seeing the software’s power in delivering quick and actionable insights.

For his first placement, Tom spent time working on financial dashboards at Telereal Trillium (Commercial Property Management) and predominantly worked with SQL and Tableau. For his second, Tom worked at BAE Systems and developed Alteryx workflows that would feed Tableau dashboards focused on individual business function performance and identifying areas on where to improve.

Tom has also enjoyed successful shorter term engagements with Premier League and Championship football clubs.

Outside of education and work, Tom enjoys playing and watching football and tennis, as well as travelling and using Spanish and Portuguese skills developed during his Modern Languages and Business Studies BA Honours degree at Newcastle University.
