About Platformable's Founder, Mark Boyd

Mark Boyd is a writer and analyst who has been working on API strategies and resources for government and businesses for the past 10 years. Prior to that, he worked in public health and urban planning where he designed data models and built dashboards for city governments to address key public health and social wellbeing needs. He has worked in policy development to reduce inequalities and started his professional career contributing to initiatives that responded to the HIV/AIDS crisis in Australia in the early 90s.

For the past ten years, Mark has worked on analysing the API sector to understand platform models and to create participation metrics for ecosystems. Platformable now aims to harness this expertise by focusing on working with governments and businesses to use data, digital services, best practices, and tools to ensure that platforms are sustainable, equitable and participatory.
