About Me

Ust Oldfield is a Data Strategist, Speaker, and "Cloud Walker" dedicated to bridging the gap between complex technology and tangible business value. As the Head of Analytics at Advancing Analytics, Ust helps organizations navigate the evolving landscape of the Microsoft Data Platform, specializing in Data Governance, Azure architectures, and the emerging world of Generative AI.

But his work goes beyond just building platforms. Ust is a passionate educator and mentor who believes deeply in the power of community. A regular speaker at international conferences like SQLBits and Big Data LDN, he loves demystifying technical concepts—from Data Vaults to Agent-Ready Governance—to empower others to do their best work.

When he isn’t architecting data solutions or geeking out over the latest tech updates, you can usually find him mentoring the next generation of data professionals or cooking up a storm in the kitchen with his family.
