An audience with Clive Humby

• Clive graduated from the University of Sheffield with a BSc in Applied Mathematics & Computer Science in 1975 and he received an Honorary DEng from Sheffield in 2016. 
   
• He received an OBE in the 2019 Birthday Honours for his services to data and UK business.
   
• First to coin the phrase, ‘data is the new oil,’ Clive has been transforming data insights into real strategic and financial growth opportunities for major businesses for over 40 years and across 30 countries.
   
• Clive co-founded dunnhumby where he and his partner, Edwina Dunn, OBE, revolutionised the Grocery and FMCG industry through the introduction of Tesco Clubcard, the first mass targeted customer loyalty and reward programme.
   
• Clive and Edwina have consistently innovated the way the industry understands and motivates customers.
   
• First building geo-demographics to say ‘you are where you live’, then trailblazing retail loyalty programmes to predict what customers want next with ‘you are what you buy’ (with Tesco Clubcard) 
   and then they began their search for the next big dataset that shows not just what someone bought; but what they care about; ‘You are what you love’ ( which led to Starcount - the next business he founded with Edwina: https://www.starcount.com/about-us/ )
   
• Clive and Edwina also established and currently run ‘The Female Lead’ charity which has over 8 million followers across social media: https://www.thefemalelead.com/ 
   
• Clive has been a Visiting Professor of Computer and Information Science at the University of Sheffield since 2021, and he has been supporting the University through this role over the last 5 years by delivering lectures, guest talks, mentoring students and supporting academic research.

Depending upon demand, Emerge reserves the right to select the final attendee list. Priority will likely be given to students who have engaged with us already and are developing a business.
