Tamanna Akther

Tamanna leads the user research practice at Capgemini Invent. She has worked in the public sector for the last 7 years.

Tamanna started her career as an educator, teaching Computer Science to over 1200 secondary school students. Whilst teaching, she led an initiative with Barclays bank inspiring female students to pursue a career in Computer Science. This became the foundation for Tamanna’s advocacy for better representation of under-represented groups in the technology and digital sector.

At Accenture she was introduced to user research whilst working on a Health and Social Care project. Here she was able to continue advocating, this time for patients, doctors, dentists, nurses, and care home staff.

Now, at Capgemini Invent she works on public sector projects championing the needs of users on government services. Alongside this she leads the User Research community at Invent and has worked on creating a diverse community where researchers can thrive.
