No two days are the same **What would surprise people to know about you?** I am an ex-professional rugby league player **What is your favourite tech or testing phrase, and why?** Quality is not an act, it is a habit! **If we were to describe your real passions and absolute dislikes in one sentence – what would that sentence be?** Passions: CrossFit and Rugby League Dislikes: Ignorance **What was the last thing you played on Spotify?** It will have been one of my daughter’s choice of songs no doubt!

It makes me feel really lucky to have the pool of talented consultants which are involved with our company. - - - - [mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20https://intelligent-ds.com/blog/james-briers-co-founder-and-chief-technology-officer%20&body=Check%20out%20https://intelligent-ds.com/blog/james-briers-co-founder-and-chief-technology-officer&media=https://www.intelligent-ds.com/hubfs/New%20Blog%20Image%206%20%28Retry%29.jpg](mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20https://intelligent-ds.com/blog/james-briers-co-founder-and-chief-technology-officer%20&body=Check%20out%20https://intelligent-ds.com/blog/james-briers-co-founder-and-chief-technology-officer&media=https://www.intelligent-ds.com/hubfs/New%20Blog%20Image%206%20%28Retry%29.jpg) --- ###### RECENT POSTS 1 [Data Certainty Services Group IDS, Secures £2m Investment](https://intelligent-ds.com/blog/ids-secures-2m-investment) 2 [Synthetic Data Generation: An Essential Guide](https://intelligent-ds.com/blog/synthetic-data-generation) 3 [The Impact of Poor Data Quality for the Public Sector](https://intelligent-ds.com/blog/poor-data-quality-for-public-sector) **Sign up** to our newsletter to read our latest blogs, news, industry updates, and key information about testing & data certainty.
