Rachel Keane
Rachel Keane is the founder of Data Inspiration Group (Digdata), launched in 2021 to equip secondary and tertiary students with vital data literacy skills and real-world virtual work experience. With over a decade in data recruitment, Rachel saw first-hand the industry's struggle to build diverse, inclusive teams—and the lack of awareness among young people about careers in data.
Driven to change this, she built Digdata into a national movement, now engaging over 25,000 students across 2,500 schools and 106 universities. Through partnerships with leading organisations like National Highways, NHS, GSK, HSBC, Meta and more, Digdata is redefining how young people connect with data-driven careers, helping to shape a more inclusive and future-ready talent pipeline for the UK.
