OUR TEAM

A perfect mix of perspectives

PointData is passionate about solving problems – big and small – because we’re truly multidisciplinary. We have data scientists working alongside urban planners, data architects, strategists, lawyers and data engineers. From our constant dealings with peak bodies, developers and other property organisations, we understand the nuances in the industry, and what can be enhanced through innovation.

We’re a diverse bunch but we’re all passionate people and we’re empathetic: we understand your challenges. We’re the right people to listen, collaborate, identify problems quickly and solve them, with responses designed around your needs.

Led by our executive team and supported by our subject matter experts, we want to fill all the data insight gaps, to help build and protect Australian businesses and serve citizens.

So we can all succeed.
