Ant Couzens

Ant Couzens

Anthony has been a technology leader for over 10 years at the sharp end of business, starting out in digital productivity which quickly developed to wrap around data and analytics. With his primary focus being on business optimisation to make for efficient and well run organisations, learning how to interpret systems data was a basic inevitability. After five years behind the wheel of PowerBI in earnest, Anthony went freelance to enable him to bring his services to organisations who couldn't get the meaning out of their own data, and the wider M365 ecosystem. Outside his work Ant is the proud husband and father of two pre-teen boys and a lover of adventures of any kind whether that's mountain biking, wildcamping, snowsport or even just the big thrills at waterparks and theme parks with the family. From a young age he has always been curious about how things work and loves nothing more than building a shed or stripping a bike. So naturally problem solving with data was always going to be an attraction!
