About Jakoma

Our Purpose

Jakoma exists to make digital transformation accessible, ethical, and genuinely useful. We explore how data, governance, and emerging technology can work together — not in competition — to help people and organisations achieve real impact.

The Meaning Behind the Name

Jakoma was created as a fusion of ideas — a name that stands for connection, balance, and practical optimism. It represents the belief that progress in data and digital innovation should empower people while respecting boundaries and values. The name reflects a philosophy: that technology should work quietly in the background, enabling individuals and systems to think, act, and grow with integrity.

Our Focus

Our work brings together three intersecting strands:

• Consulting — developing governance-first approaches to digital, data, and AI leadership.
• Learning — creating tools and resources that build confidence and literacy around modern technology.
• Labs — a space for safe experimentation, automation, and ethical innovation.

Our Principles

Every Jakoma project is grounded in a few simple principles:

• Privacy and Integrity — people first, data second.
• Transparency — clarity and confidence in every process.
• Accountability — measurable outcomes and evidence-led practice.
• Accessibility — technology should empower, not exclude.

Our Founder

Jakoma was founded by a senior leader with more than two decades’ experience working across complex public-service data systems. Their background spans digital strategy, information governance, analytics, and leadership development — shaping a career focused on connecting innovation with assurance.

Through Jakoma, that experience is being channelled into creating practical tools, frameworks, and learning resources that help others navigate the next wave of data and AI responsibly.
