Kellie Peters and Regina Lally (Databasix)
Kellie Peters and Regina Lally are the founding Directors of Databasix. They have worked together since 2004, demonstrating how amazing data can be to those who are not quite sure, a little bit scared or downright terrified of the data they collect.
Together, they developed a people-focused approach to data management, which aimed to improve data quality and encourage ownership at a local level. This approach improved the relevance and robustness of data, and so people at all levels trusted the outputs to make decisions and monitor performance accurately.
Kellie is genuinely excited by data. When you meet her, you’ll see her enthusiasm, and it’s infectious.
Regina studied languages at University and uses those translation skills to make data requirements relevant to people’s everyday roles, making it a little more understandable for everyone.
