Our Leadership
Uncharted was founded by a small alliance of visual analytics pioneers who remain highly engaged in the art and science of human-centered invention. Since then the team has grown to include ten passionate and diversely talented partners, a brilliant group of directors, and staff nearing a hundred strong.
Senior Partner, Co-Founder, CEO
David is a longtime leader in the conception, design and creation of new systems for data-driven visual thinking. He is a frequent industry speaker and writer, and occasional architect of office spaces, brand identities and overly elaborate holiday cards.
Partner, Co-Founder
Tom creates innovative and influential visual solutions. Inspired by artistic practice, he believes that information interaction is still in its early days, and that the challenge is not to “visualize information” but to capture how people think.
