Kooth appoints Dr Tim Budden as Chief Technical Officer
Kooth (AIM:KOO), the UK's leading digital mental health
platform, has appointed Dr Tim Budden as Chief Technical Officer
(CTO). In this role, he will be responsible for the further
development, and innovation, of Kooth's products and services, and
will report directly to Tim Barker, Chief Executive Officer
(CEO).
Tim brings over 26 years of deep technical expertise in the
fields of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), data
science, natural language processing and building privacy-by-design
platforms. He joins Kooth from Hazy, a deep-tech business focused
on enabling data scientists to create privacy-safe data sets from

of high-profile companies including DataSift (acquired by
Meltwater), Sensat and Clearstream where he led the product,
engineering and data science teams.
Tim Barker, Chief Executive Officer at Kooth said: "We believe
the future of personalised digital mental healthcare won't be an AI
chatbot, it will look more like Netflix; guiding you to relevant
content, self-help programmes, and one-to-one support based on
what's helped people like you in the past. Tim's deep expertise in
machine learning and natural language processing is pivotal in
helping us build this future. I couldn't be more excited to have
Tim lead our team to create the future and make effective,
personalised, mental healthcare available to all."
Tim holds a DPhil, Foundations in Physics and a BA (Hons) in
Physics and Philosophy from the University of Oxford, and a MASt
Part III Maths Tipos, specialising in physics from the University
