Testimonials.

Jeremy Pelton
Semi-retired
I worked alongside Gareth a number of times - when we were both at IQVIA - both on internal and external projects. Gareth was an invaluable member of the team when doing Joint Working Projects with the NHS as he took time to engage with the customers, understand their need and then collaboratively come up with options on how to move forward. One of Gareth's strengths was being able to sanity check what the customer was aiming for and to help manage expectations around project outcomes/outputs. Gareth had a great attention to detail and was willing to continue to listen to and flex with the customer as the project progressed - this always meant that the finished product was exactly what the customer was looking for and fit for purpose. Gareth's finished work was always a valuable addition to the final reports/write ups for the projects and also featured in conference posters and presentations.
Jake Clements
Principal, Head of Pathway Analytics at IQVIA
I worked with and was directly managed by Gareth for a number of years, working with life science companies, the NHS, government engagements, and internal initiatives. Gareth exemplifies the best of servant leadership - giving me space to thrive while knowing when to lend a hand, providing an umbrella from demands of upper management but knowledgeable in details to help creatively solve problems and get the work done. Gareth helped me start my path of directly leading a team and helped me learn what it means to be a manager. Coming from a highly technical background, Gareth is able to add an informed critical eye for what is possible, while being aware of business objectives and strategic imperatives. I highly recommend Gareth for roles across the healthcare and life science sector, particularly where he is able to use data to provide evidence for decision making.
Claudia Denye
Consultant and Government Affairs Exec, IQVIA UKI Strategy & Business Planning
I worked with Gareth for over a year on a medtech evaluation for the NHS. During this project Gareth was a fantastic leader and mentor, it was truly a privilege to work with him. Gareth’s deep understanding of NHS data and systems was invaluable during the data collection stage. His client focus and problem solving approach ensured that even the most challenging queries were resolved and the standard of work continuously exceeded expectations. Additionally, Gareth was always available to support with ad hoc queries as well as providing sage advise for any general consulting questions I had. I felt that Gareth was invested in my career development as well as the success of the project.
Daniel Doyle
Head of Data Analytics Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine
I highly recommend Gareth for any organisation seeking a leader with vast experience in healthcare data, strong technical skills, and a keen eye for commercial opportunities. During my time working with Gareth at IQVIA, he consistently demonstrated his ability to identify and evaluate commercial opportunities while improving the overall offer of our organisation. In addition to his commercial acumen, Gareth possesses hands-on expertise in data and analytics, with extensive knowledge of data visualization tools and programming languages such as Python and, in particular, SQL. Gareth's technical skills have enabled him to lead teams in delivering complex analytics projects, resulting in cost savings and improved patient outcomes for NHS organisations. Gareth's leadership style is credible, approachable, and honest, able to clearly communicate complex technical concepts and achieve buy-in from all parties. Overall, I highly recommend Gareth as a technically strong data analytics leader with a keen eye for commercial opportunities, deep expertise in healthcare data, and a leadership style that fosters collaboration and delivers results.
Peter Lane

I have worked with Gareth for a number of years on complex multi organisational programs of work. He is an innovator and someone who seeks the solution rather than seeing the potential road block. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking someone who gets things done and is able to coach others who are willing to learn.
Michael Cameron
Azure Specialist
I've worked with Gareth for the last four months and have found his knowledge and insights of datasets in the health domain to be invaluable. What he doesn't know isn't worth knowing. His focus and determination on getting to the bottom of issues with cross-tenant Power BI reporting has also been greatly appreciated as has his work on geospatial data using GraphHopper in Databricks. Our team are poorer for your departure and I am sorry to see you go.
Josh Day
Senior Data Engineer
Working with Gareth at the Department of Health was a pleasure. His deep knowledge of NHS data, codes and standards got us out of many holes; he has a thorough understanding of the Health Data landscape in the UK. Moreover, his technical skills and tenacity allowed us to deliver multiple pipelines for the cloud data platform for DHSC, often improvising solutions when the tech stack let us down. I would thoroughly recommend Gareth for any Data Engineering, Policy or Architect role.
Alex Brooks
Head of Data Access & Platform Development - Stats & Data Science Hub - DHSC
Gareth is a very knowledgeable, reliable and collaborative health data expert whose contributions have been absolutely essential to DHSC (department of health & social care) in creating cross-organisational data platforming tools and data pipelines. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone undertaking complex data projects, especially those that require knowledge of NHS Information Governance processes, cultures or data structures. As a client, I can have complete confidence that any work Gareth is tasked with will be well managed and completed to an excellent standard.

He brings a wealth of knowledge and insight into our project, ensuring that our solutions are not only technically sound but also aligned with best practices. His analytical skills and attention to detail have been invaluable in understanding and addressing the unique challenges we have faced with data on the project. Beyond his technical prowess, Gareth is a proactive and collaborative team member. He consistently demonstrates a strong work ethic, a willingness to take on new challenges, and a commitment to delivering high-quality results. His positive attitude and excellent communication skills make him very easy to work with.
