Who We Are
Our MISSION
Data4Development strives to drive positive change through the power of data, providing efficient data management solutions that promote transparency and empower organisations to make informed decisions and achieve meaningful impact.
Our Origins
Co-founded in 2015 by Maaike Blom, Data4Development was created to help non-profit organisations navigate the ever-changing world of information technology and data. After dedicating the majority of her professional life to working for various NGOs, Maaike began to notice a pattern: in every position, she found herself optimising processes and promoting efficiency. Combining her first-hand experience of NGO’s unique challenges with the power of IT, Maaike founded a consultancy focused on data-driven solutions for organisations to maximise their impact.
