Jordan Ismain
Founder, Compair AI · London, UK
Now
Founded Compair AI in 2025 on a simple conviction: the local government that serves our communities deserves the same standard of insight as the world’s leading banks.
We standardise the commercial data of all 317 English councils into one comparable dataset, using our own machine learning models, and deliver it as market intelligence through a premium platform.
Councils, suppliers, journalists and consultancies use it to see the whole market, benchmark against genuine peers, and act on what they find.
Track record
Led technology transformations inside investment banks, government commercial teams and more, turning imperfect data into decisions people can act on.
Outside work
Three things I do when I’m not staring at a screen.

Private Pilot Licence (2025), from Oxford Airport (EGTK)
Cave diving
Full Cave Diver (2025), from good old Dover
Running
Regularly, around North London
BSc Mathematics with Economics, University of Sussex.
