The datixxia™ Team
Built by operators who understand data, languages and public markets — and who spent years turning a simple observation into a working terminal.
Origin story
Many years ago, while translating tenders by hand, a linguist noted that contract awards defined the economic future of the players involved. It struck him that if contract awards everywhere could be compiled, their economic future in general could be measured…
At the time, such calculations were impossible — the volume of data and the speed of transmission far surpassed the computing power then available. That is no longer the case; but even so, it took the translator two years of research to solve the technical problems involved.
And the translator became our CEO.
Malcolm Duff
Malcolm founded and led the first translation company in France to obtain ISO 9001 certification and was chief technology translator for UNESCO in Paris. He originated the concept behind datixxia™ and developed its foundations through research into how public contract award data can support economic intelligence and business decisions.
His experience includes coordinating international projects with translators from 33 countries through Inttranet™, included in the UNESCO Observatory on the Information Society in January 2006. At DataTixx, he leads company strategy, partnership development and the preparation of datixxia™ for commercial launch.
Yana Levchenko
The founder of her own web design company only one year after escaping from the war in Ukraine with her children and pets, Yana has extensive experience in cyber-security and computing, backed by wide-ranging skills in web design for a fast-growing customer base.
She also brings to the team her eye for detail and aesthetic sense of beauty as a professional photographer published in magazines worldwide. As Managing Director, she works alongside Malcolm to develop DataTixx and prepare datixxia™ for its users.
