Chloe Parker - Director at Core Insights, a Donorfy Partner
Chloe got into the charity sector because she wanted to make a difference. Chloe had been working for Lloyds Bank, working as a data analyst. She wanted to bring her skills into the sector, spot patterns in data, allow charities to use their data to gain insights and make changes. She wanted to do more analysis, but Chloe kept coming across the same hurdle - data just wasn’t in the right state to get her teeth into.
In 2015, Chloe set up Core Insights to help charities to get more from their data. From finding the right database to speeding up reporting processes, Chloe is passionate that charities can, and should, be getting more from their data.
