After five years in data and AI in fintech, I'm making a deliberate move toward work I'm genuinely passionate about. I want to use what I've built — evaluation frameworks, data systems, product thinking — to have a positive impact in conservation, climate, clean water, and biodiversity.

Hanns Niedermark

I spent five years at Bloomberg across analyst, team leadership, and product roles. Most recently I was the Data Product Owner on AskB — focused on AI evaluation, data quality frameworks, and reporting that helped product and engineering teams make confident decisions about model releases.

With a background in Business Administration and AI & Data Science, I sit at the intersection of business and technology. My strength is the planning, strategy, and execution of data-driven projects and processes — turning complexity into something organisations can actually act on.

I'm now looking to apply those skills to conservation, climate, and social impact work. I'm particularly drawn to organisations where good data and AI practice is the difference between an intervention that works and one that doesn't.
