Dr. Stephen Welch
Managing Director
Stephen is a true ‘Maths Geek’ having gained a 1st class honours and PhD in Mathematics from Birmingham University. Whilst he can talk maths very well, he also talks business and offers that ability to translate business problems into value add insight projects.
He started his career in the public sector using his skills to build school funding models for the Department of Education. After receiving a really good grounding in how to properly manage insight projects, Stephen moved into the private sector. He spent several years building new insight functions in various sectors including retail, media and financial services before co-founding Realise UNLIMITED.
Stephen has a good cross-section of insight skills but is especially focussed on helping companies leverage their data. This could be by making better use of existing insight teams or by the setting up of new ones. He is extremely business focussed and probably too often asks the question ‘so what’ when numbers are presented.
Outside of Realise UNLIMITED, Stephen is a skilled go player and not so skilled golfer. If only he could find the formula for the perfect golf swing!

Ian Bobbett
Chief Analytics Officer
Ian is a kiwi (although he was actually born in Bedford!) and has degrees in Maths and Economics from the University of Otago.
Ian started his career in New Zealand undertaking analysis for a market research company. After moving to the UK in 1998, he decided to support his love of travelling by contracting. This included stints at the likes of: Iceland, Sainsburys, ClarityBlue, PostOffice, Debenhams and Aviva. 10 years (and several trips around Africa and India) later he was still contracting but wanted to make more of a difference – hence he co-founded Realise UNLIMITED.
Whilst technically very strong, Ian is extremely focussed on value add. He likes to ensure that insight is aligned to the business strategy and that business stakeholders know what they are getting. He is SAS trained but likes to embrace new technologies. He has seen the insight landscape change dramatically during his career with the focus now being more on the likes of big data, programmatic and new languages such as R and Python.
After satiating his desire for travel, Ian now prefers to focus on his beautiful family and trips to and from football and rugby. He still needs to persuade his boys to support the All Blacks rather than England though!
