Nicky Yates

I live with passion. I aim to help non-profits and social entrepreneurs use technology to solve problems.

Currently, I'm at Buzz Radar, an industry leader in capturing and visualising real-time data. We want to make live data of all types collaborative, easy to understand and shareable for everyone. Why? Because data can be simple, beautiful, and powerful, and when data is shared and accessible to everyone, it can create a more open, collaborative way of working together.

I seek out opportunities to partner with organizations making an impact and creating social justice, like The Adventure Project or I'll Go First.

Previously, you may have seen me finishing my Master's in Forensic Psychology from NYU and then helping launch charity: water. In my spare time, I enjoy great food and making life an adventure, from running marathons in other countries, seeing new lands and jumping out planes.

Keep up with me on Twitter and Facebook, and be sure to say hi.
