My organisation

On-line forms and surveys are everywhere. But data on the 1.3 billion people who experience a significant disability is under- represented or missing entirely. Undermining the rights of individuals to be consulted and leaving organisations to take decisions based on data that is inaccurate and incomplete. Accessible Data change this. By making on-line forms and survey accessible we put inclusive data at your fingertips. Enabling informed, optimal and inclusive decions to be made by businesses, governments, academics and non profits. Our first product is accessiblesurveys.com. Accessible Surveys was developed in close collaboration with the International Disability Alliance and is being used by organisations around the world including Unicef and the Ministry of Education, Ireland to collect better data. We are actively looking to raise finance and build strategic partnerships to make accessible forms and surveys mainstream.

About me

I am a co-founder of Accessible Data, where we believe that if a survey isn't accessible, the data is incomplete. My mission is to bridge the global disability data gap by ensuring the 1.3 billion people with disabilities are represented in the decisions that affect their lives.

My role focuses on building strategic partnerships and scaling our impact. I am passionate about collaborating with leaders who recognize that inclusive data is the foundation for better outcomes for everyone.

I live in London with my wife and two teenage daughters. With one being a circus performer and the other a competitive cheerleader, life at home is never boring!

I am at Zero Project 2026 to:

  • Support Teams: To help organizations looking for an 'accessible by design' survey tool.

  • Collaborate with OPDs: To strengthen our ties with Organizations of Persons with Disabilities.

  • Scale Impact: To meet partners and investors for our pre-Series A round who want to join us in making inclusion the global standard.

I look forward to meeting you in Vienna! Please feel free to book a meeting or grab me for a coffee.
