About us
Strategy and mastery, built from experience.
Intelligence With Data helps organisations get more from their data and helps people build careers in it. Both start from the same belief: the right skills turn data from a chore into an advantage.
Our story
From engineering to data.
Intelligence With Data was founded by Hakeem Falade, a Senior Data Analyst, Microsoft Certified Professional and member of BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT.
Hakeem began his career as an Asset Production Engineer across oil production facilities in Nigeria. After relocating to the UK, he took on whatever work was available while teaching himself Excel, Power BI and SQL — and landed a UK data analyst role within six months.
That journey shapes everything we do: practical, outcome-focused work that helps businesses save time, and training that gives people a real route into data.

Our principles.
Time is the metric
We measure success in hours given back and decisions made faster, not in dashboards delivered.

Every engagement transfers skills, so you're never dependent on us to keep things running.
Clarity at every stage
Plain English, agreed scope and explicit deliverables from discovery to handover.
