About us
A data & AI consultancy that proves value before scaling
Our story
Mark Your Data was founded in 2021 by Mark Schep. What started as independent consulting has grown into a consultancy backed by a network of senior specialists.
We focus on three areas:
Strategy
Figure out where data can drive the most value. We help you identify opportunities and turn them into a concrete plan.
Platforms
Build a modern data foundation without the enterprise price tag. We use open-source tools that save thousands per year.
Solutions
Turn data into business impact. From analytics dashboards to AI applications, we build what you need.
Who does the work
Mark leads every engagement. Depending on the project, he works solo or brings in senior freelancers from his network. Each specialist has years of experience and is selected for the specific challenge at hand.
Our network covers:
Data strategy
Roadmaps, opportunity assessments, and aligning data initiatives with business goals.
Data engineering
Pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and the technical foundation your team builds on.
Analytics & dashboarding
Turning raw data into clear insights your team can act on every day.
Data science & AI
Predictive models, machine learning, and AI solutions that create measurable impact.
Most engagements, Mark handles himself. Need a specific skill? We bring in a senior specialist to cover the gap. Need a full team? We assemble one, without the overhead of a large consultancy.
How we work
After years of delivering data & AI projects, we've learned what separates success from shelfware: proving value early.
"Make it work, make it better, make it scale."
This methodology guides every engagement. Make it work: get something running fast. Make it better: refine based on real feedback. Make it scale: roll out what's proven.
We'd rather show you a working prototype in weeks than a strategy deck in months. Clients often adopt this approach for their own teams long after we're gone.
