Gavin Rozzi is the principal and founder of 39 North Labs, a premier data analytics and consulting firm that specializes in providing professional services leveraging data analytics, informatics, spatial analysis, and GIS/mapping. With over a decade of experience in the field, Mr. Rozzi is a leading expert in the use of data and technology to drive decision-making and improve outcomes in urban and civic contexts.

Mr. Rozzi’s distinguished career began with the creation of OPRAmachine, a civic technology platform that helped to modernize the public sector by compiling the only statewide, open-access dataset tracking the implementation of the state’s Open Public Records Act (OPRA). This innovative project earned him recognition as a leading expert in the field of open government and data transparency.

He then went on to serve as a researcher at the William J. Hughes Center for Public Policy at Stockton University, where he worked on political polling data analysis and co-authored the “Underground Construction Economy” report. This experience led him to serve as the founding data scientist of the Rutgers Urban & Civic Informatics Lab (RUCI) at the Edward J. Bloustein School at Rutgers. During his tenure there, he played a key role in establishing the lab as a respected research center in the field of urban informatics and public policy.

Mr. Rozzi’s experience extends beyond the public sector, as he has also worked as a technology consultant for businesses and organizations, helping them leverage data and technology to improve their operations and decision-making. Furthermore, he has made substantial contributions to open-source software for data science, as he has authored three R packages for geocoding, road safety research, and spatial data analysis, which are widely used by researchers and practitioners in the field.
