The Data Behind Delivery with Will Sprunt, Principal Data Scientist and former CIO at Deliveroo

Will Sprunt

Principal Data Scientist and Former CIO at Deliveroo

Will is Principal Data Scientist and former CIO at Deliveroo, where we are on a mission to build the definitive online food company.

After spending more than a decade leading data teams in hypergrowth companies, he has a deep experience of the changes that organisations need to go through as they scale and the data led tools they need to do it.

Will's passion is the intersection of analytics and data science with qualitative problems, culture and strategy. Whether the problem is understanding what makes a compelling customer proposition, or trading off potential outcomes from tactics in highly interactive competitive markets, or even how you frame the value of the non-financial effects of a company - he believes you can use data to not just optimise an outcome, but to actually change the way you can think.

Even more than data, Will loves food and actually started his career by setting up a chocolate and catering company. Although it's been a few years since his last shift in a professional kitchen he does still try to keep his prep skills up to scratch just in case.
