Who are NextWave?
NextWave is a digital acceleration consultancy for financial services helping the world’s leading financial services firms transform their business through industry expertise, AI, data analytics, fintech and automation. Our services span strategy development, specialist knowledge, and practical solutions designed to help clients achieve growth, efficiency, and control objectives.
Since 2020, we have been proud Quantexa Alliance Partners, successfully delivering clients a wide range of solutions. Our team brings years of experience across multiple clients and use cases, with some members having been part of the Quantexa journey before joining NextWave. Every team member is Quantexa certified, holds multiple certifications and has multi-solution experience. Our deep understanding of the Quantexa solution ensures we know what success looks like and how to achieve it.
What’s NextWave's mission?
We want to help organisations become more future focused, data driven and digitally led. We aim to enable them to capitalise on smart solutions like Quantexa, driving meaningful and sustainable transformation.
What does our Alliance mean for NextWave?
We’ve believed in Quantexa from the beginning, tracing our relationship back to the days of Detica NetReveal. Working alongside the Quantexa Team is a privilege and an exciting opportunity to be at the forefront of data insights, helping clients achieve their goals.
We’ve worked tirelessly to build our Centre of Excellence (COE), and we’re immensely proud of the successes we’ve achieved with our clients—especially in increasingly helping them along their journey toward self-sufficiency. We’ve developed a comprehensive approach and suite of solutions to support this goal.

Ultimately, we love collaborating with the Quantexa Team.
What do you most like about NextWave?
Several aspects of NextWave stand out to me:
- The People: I love working with incredibly talented individuals who are constantly pushing the boundaries.
- The Culture: Our vibrant, engaging culture makes it easy for everyone to get involved, especially in a smaller company like ours.
- Being at the Forefront: Working at the cutting edge of data and digital evolution allows us to explore a world of possibilities through technology-led solutions.
What are your main goals as a Partner?
My primary goals are to ensure we have the right enablers in place for our team to grow in their abilities and deliver outstanding outcomes for our clients. Ultimately strengthen our Quantexa Centre of Excellence globally and expand NextWave’s opportunities.
How would you describe a typical day?
Honestly, there’s no such thing as a typical day because each one is so varied. However, some key activities include:
- Checking in with Delivery Teams: Ensuring they have the support they need.
- Exploring New Business Opportunities: Engaging with clients and prospects across our offices.
- Collaborating with the Quantexa Teams: Enhancing our knowledge and capabilities.
- Overseeing Operations: Managing our Centre of Excellence and driving solutions and service development.
What do you enjoy about your role?
The variety in my role is what I enjoy most—no two days are the same. I particularly value working with super-talented colleagues and forward-thinking partners like Quantexa and our many clients.
Can you share a success story about how Quantexa has helped your customers?
We’ve collaborated with Quantexa on over twenty successful projects, so success is what we have achieved together in delivering to ‘our customers’. Success also reflects our strategic investment in talent and our Centre of Excellence, which has enabled us to achieve comprehensive end-to-end solutions and establish NextWave’s self-sufficiency assessment and services framework.
