Dina Mohammad, an FT data analyst, has been picked as one of Media Week’s future stars in their 30 under 30 awards, with judges commending her outstanding work in the field.

At just 23 years of age, Mohammad has made a remarkable start in her chosen career as a statistician. Her applied focus on the current “big-data” change in the media industry has made her a stand out amongst her peers and contributed to her recent success.

Mohammad commented: “Data is becoming more and more important and there are some incredible things you can do to make marketing and communications smarter and more relevant to the consumer. Who knew stats could be so fun!?”

The awards, which recognise the next generation of talent in the industry, took place last night at The Cuckoo Club with over 100 guests in attendance.

Entries were judged by a team of industry experts that included Marcus Rich, Managing Director, Mail On Sunday; David Wilding, planning director at PHD; Tom Dunn, digital strategy director at Maxus; Karen Stacey, broadcast sales director for Bauer Media, Clare Rush, joint head of investment at MEC and Philip Smith, head of content solutions for the Brand Republic group.
