Antonio Acuña Biography
Antonio has worked in the public sector for over 15 years, with
a foundation in digital transformation, lean processes and
efficiencies. He has mainly focused on difficult, large projects.
In 2007 he led, re-structured and delivered for DEFRA, the Noise
Mapping England project, a challenging project to map via computer
modelling all noise from transport, air, industrial and railways
sources across all agglomeration of more than 100,000 people. The
largest geo-acoustic project in the world at the time, with a GBP23
million budget, it was delivered on time and GBP11 million under
budget.
In 2011 Antonio took over the alpha version of data.gov.uk at
the Cabinet Office and Government Digital Services, the brainchild
of Tim Berners-Lee, Nigel Shadbolt and Rufus Pollock, providing
access to government data free of charge and with an open license
for free reuse. Antonio led data.gov.uk to become the prime example
for open data services worldwide, having a direct and positive
influence in the development of similar national and local
government initiatives in over 28 countries. During his time in
Data.gov.uk Antonio appeared in over 30 international conferences,
newspapers interviews and radio and television and engaged in
collaborative work with organisations such as the World Bank, The
Open Government Partnership and the White House Presidential
Innovation Fellows Program.
During his time running data.gov.uk Antonio also became involved
with digital transformation work, using data as an enabler for
change and supporting assessment reviews for many large digital
projects in governments on behalf of the Major Projects Authority
at the Cabinet Office.
After the international success of data.gov.uk Antonio returned
to Defra and became the Head of Data Management and Data Strategy,
where he assembled a top team to scope and write the group's (Defra
and its 33 agencies and other bodies) Data Strategy and draft a
Data Management Framework. For the last 20 years Antonio has also
been a lecturer on digital transformation for governments and the
evolution of 'the digital state' and 'digital nation building',
both in universities across the UK and internationally.
Before working in government Antonio led several digital
marketing companies and a few start-ups.
Antonio holds an MA in Diplomacy, media and International
Trade.
