Stephen Thomas is Head of Data Mining at the Financial Times.
A graduate in modern languages from University of Leeds, Stephen spent the first part of his career working in B2B publishing and advertising across Europe, Middle East and Africa covering all sectors of business, finance, technology and industry. In 2017, he joined the Financial Times tasked with developing the commercial offering of FT content in machine readable format. Since then, the FT has successfully sold news data to buyside and sellside institutions in financial services, corporates and policy makers. When he is not reflecting on how different types of data can be leveraged to better inform all types of decisions, he is planning holidays to France with his wife Natalia.
