Otta's take

Sam Franklin headshot

Sam Franklin

CEO of Otta

Harbr's platform enables companies to securely share data both internally and externally, across all data stakeholders – employees, customers, partners and suppliers. The platform also allows businesses to convert any digital content into ready-to-use, monetizable products that are easily accessed through a custom-branded data exchange.

Typically, big data businesses lack the agility to package data in ways that make sense for each customer, a problem Harbr seeks to solve. Instead of just sending raw data, the company's customers are able to leverage it to sell services, models, or insights – which are far more useful to end users and customers.

Since its launch, Harbr has opened offices in the US and heavily invested in R&D, while aiming to work with its customers to reinvent the data commerce experience for the modern data consumer. In a recent development, the company announced the launch of Harbr 5.0 which represents its expansion into the data sharing market.

Diversity & Inclusion at Harbr Data

  • We focus on bringing in the best talent from the broadest talent pools, and that is the heart of our people strategy. Our leadership team is currently 40% female; our hiring strategies require diverse shortlists and we select recruiters based on their ability to show strong track records of diverse candidate sourcing. As we enter a new phase of growth, this is a core part of our success strategy
  • We have chosen to do what matters for our team and for our communities, by launching a pilot mentoring programme in collaboration with Every Child Needs a Mentor. The programme involves training Harbr's emerging leaders in core mentoring skills, and then pairs them with school children to build long-lasting and impactful mentoring relationships. We view this as a core part of the company's leadership training that also boost opportunities for young people outside the company
