Anna Sutton is the recently exited Co-Founder of The Data Shed, a Leeds based Data consultancy, now Hippo Data. Currently Anna is busy building business #2, The Data Refinery, a SaaS data platform that supercharges data and AI capabilities for any organisation.
The plan is to take everything learned from the Shed and make data driven insights available to a much wider range of organisations giving customers all the benefits of a data warehouse and analysis tools, without the headaches and expense.
“Through the Leeds digital community, I’ve made friends, found clients, met the eventual buyer of our business and made connections that have played a huge part in our success. It has also played a key role in my growth as a leader and keeping me sane during the highs and lows of scaling a business, particularly in the turmoil of the last five years. We have something special here in this city and I’m very proud to be invited to be an ambassador as part of Leeds Digital.”
