Meet the MD

BA, MSc, MCIPD, APMG Change Practitioner

Matt Corey has lived and worked in several countries on different continents including the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States, Greece, and France. The unifying theme throughout his work was change and how to leverage it towards successful business growth.

The understanding and experience he gained from working with and listening to clients, candidates, and other stakeholders was that a 'changing' business could only be great with the right people and the right solutions in place. Consequently, Matt Corey founded Data Focus as a specialist in Data Science Recruitment Practice for Digital Health clients.

Data Focus specialises in providing data professionals who can create the right framework for increased efficiency, an improved customer experience, profitability, and business growth for organisations. 

As a Business and HR Consultant with over 15 years of experience, Matt has degrees and qualifications in Change Management, HR, Business, and Psychology. As a Chartered Member of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) and a Corporate Member of The Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC), he is committed to their professional, legal, and ethical codes of conduct. He is also an accredited DDI Facilitator and NLP Master Practitioner and has qualifications in Change Management and Project and Programme Management.

Matt achieved early career success in Media Sales before working as an HR Generalist in change contexts and later set up HR and Recruitment functions in various businesses undergoing change. One focus area was placing middle and senior roles within IT, Medical, Pharmaceutical, Finance, Marketing, and HR in the UK and abroad.

He also worked as a Business Transformation Consultant across North America and Europe, successfully implementing business change solutions for global corporate clients to achieve increased profits and substantial savings. He trained and coached clients in the effective use of organisational operating models and change management tools and techniques aligned to the client's vision and business strategy. 

In 2018, Matt wrote the Data Scientist's Book of Quotes, available on Amazon, paperback, and Kindle.
