In this episode of ScaleUp Radio, Kevin Brent is joined by Sameer Rahman, the CEO of Datamonet – a consultancy helping organisations build data and AI strategies that drive commercial value. With a background in data science and years of experience across sectors, Sameer shares his insights into how small and medium businesses can get smarter with data without needing to become tech giants.

Sameer founded Datamonet to tackle a problem he saw time and again – decision-makers who were data-rich but insight-poor. Through tailored consulting, from “power hours” to deep-dive strategy projects, Sameer helps businesses turn data into a growth engine.

Together, they explore:

• Why data literacy in boardrooms is often the biggest barrier to success
• How small businesses can use open-source and purchased data to craft powerful strategies
• The role of AI as an enabler, not a silver bullet – and why human insight still matters
• Why so many digital transformation projects fail, and what you can do to avoid the same fate
