Best Startup
At Best Startup UK we track over 130,000 UK startups and over 500,000 people who hold key positions in these companies. We use this directory of startups to highlight top employees, founders and board members we think deserve more appreciation than they are currently getting.
This list showcases the top United Kingdom based Advisor operating in the Data Integration space. If you think a Advisor is missing from this list, feel free to contact our editor on editor@beststartup.co.uk.
The individuals on this list have been included because of exceptional performance in one of the following categories:
- Innovation – Operating as a key part in an extremely innovative business or startup.
- Growth – Operating as a key figure in the growth and upscale of a market leading business or startup.
- Management – Showing exceptional management skills.
- Societal impact – Putting their business on the map for their positive societal or environmental impact.
Our Data – We source our data from OSINT (open source intelligence) and public directories such as Companies House UK, Crunchbase, SemRush and many more. The data from these sources should be treated with a degree of caution and verified yourself.

Stephen Roberts
Co-founder & Chief Scientific Advisor of Mind Foundry
Stephen Roberts is the Royal Academy of Engineering / Man Group Professor of Machine Learning at the University of Oxford. He is a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering, the Royal Statistical Society, the Institute of Physics and the Alan Turing Institute. Stephen is Director of the Oxford-Man Institute of Quantitative Finance and founding-Director of the Oxford Centre for Doctoral Training in Autonomous Intelligent Machines and Systems (AIMS). He has published widely, having some 350 publications which have accrued over 20,000 citations. Stephen’s interests lie in methods for machine learning, data analysis & AI in complex problems, especially those in which noise and uncertainty abound. His major research works include the application of machine learning to huge astrophysical data sets (for discovering exoplanets, pulsars and cosmological models), biodiversity monitoring (for detecting changes in ecology and spread of disease), smart networks (for reducing energy consumption and impact), industrial sensor networks (to better acquire and model complex events & to monitor the condition of equipment) and finance (to provide better insight into time-series, risk and trading actions and to fuse knowledge from large numbers of unstructured information streams).

Michael Osborne
Co-founder & Chief Scientific Advisor of Mind Foundry
Mike Osborne is the Dyson Associate Professor in Machine Learning at the University of Oxford. Back in 2013, he co-authored a highly-cited paper (with economist Carl Frey) that used machine learning to estimate that 47% of US jobs are at risk of being automatable through advances in artificial intelligence and robotics. This work was born of Mike’s interests in the practical use of machine learning to enable automation, while ensuring that such advances are made in sympathy with societal needs. Mike’s technical expertise in Bayesian optimisation and probabilistic numerics underpins recent advances in automated and interpretable machine learning pipelines. His algorithms have been deployed in industrial and scientific applications ranging from battery monitoring, pigeon navigation and self-driving cars. As co-director of the Oxford Martin Programme on Technology and Employment, his research on the future of work has resulted in both sustained coverage in almost all major media venues (e.g. his being interviewed on BBC Newsnight, a cover feature in the Economist) and policy impact (including presenting oral evidence to the House of Commons Science and Technology Committee).
