Saul Sherry Editor Saul Sherry originally hails from the first-rate county of Leicestershire in England and currently plies his trade in that nation's capital. He is particularly interested in the ways big data can reveal to us the intelligence that lurks below the surface of the everyday, and how we can use this to improve lives. When not writing about big data (or looking for excellent minds to do the same) he can normally be found deafening himself in one of London's fine live music venues. Other weekly highlights involve dragging himself around Clissold Park and buying books based solely on their covers. If you have questions about Big Data Republic, or want to inquire about being a moderator or a blogger, please feel free to email: Saul.Sherry@UBM.com.
