Meet the Team

Michael started MBN to deal with what he perceived as a weakness within the recruitment industry and its lack of deep domain expertise in the areas of data, analytics and technology. 15 years on, MBN is a hugely successful and market leading provider of People Solutions to disruptive and fast moving businesses seeking the very best talent to support their strategic intent.

MBN’s success has come about through leadership and passion to collaborate and build communities of stakeholders. In recent years this has been evidenced through organising and facilitating two of the UK’s most compelling networking groups: Scotland Data Science & Technology and Blockchain Scotland Meet-Up Group. With such groups playing a pivotal role in helping to surface unmet clients’ needs and helping to build links with an enhanced candidate pool, he has also used this as a platform for growth by hosting events such as ScotChain, CityChain and Data Talent 2.0.

Outside of MBN, he continues to act as an advisor and mentor to a number of start-ups, charities and third-sector organisations and have provided support to many government agencies seeking to understand the evolving complex landscape of Data Talent Acquisition.

Josh is our Client Acquisition Lead. He also listens to (very) heavy metal. On the MBN frontlines for a decade, he’s seen it all (and I mean it all). Day to day he’s collaborating with market-leading clients and helping them transform their businesses with the best in data and analytics talent. Ask him about his pug.

Lauren’s the Head of Talent Performance and Development. She’s a super recruiter. A kind of all Power Rangers combined force in the data and technology world. Lauren’s role sees her pass on many years of best practice to the rest of the business whilst continuing to deliver the excellence that she’s renowned for.

Greta’s our Financial Controller and head bean counter. She makes sure we all get paid and that everything gets paid for. Everyone at MBN is important but without Greta we couldn’t eat, so she’s right up there with one of the most important people we know. She’s a whizz at maths, stats, numbers and all things spreadsheet-related.

Nikola’s our Business Support Coordinator. She’s the glue that keeps us all together. Nikola helps deliver high-value projects across MBN and MBN Academy. Most of us would be lost without her, cheers Nik.

Mo’s been in the data science game since 2016. He specialises in working with start-ups and scale ups and is connected to some of the best of the best in UK data science. If you want someone that understands the future of data science with your best interest at heart, email him. Like, now.

Steve is our Financial Director. He’s experienced in financial management and provides the support, structure and guidance that ensure MBN’s finances support and empower our growth.
