Mitali Mookerjee Strategy Consultant

Mitali began her career at Datamonitor, where she rose from Senior News Editor in the UK to Global Director of Partnerships & Alliances, managing reseller networks, negotiating multimillion-pound licensing agreements, and launching new digital platforms including the online Research Store. During this time, she worked in New York, signing over 50 distribution deals and expanding Datamonitor’s North American presence.

At Progressive Digital Media (now GlobalData), Mitali served as Managing Director of Commercial Development, founding a new business unit that became profitable within six months, increasing sales by 840% year-on-year, and securing partnerships with leading aggregators such as Thomson Reuters, LexisNexis, and Bloomberg. In these roles at Datamonitor and GlobalData, she oversaw teams in London, Manchester, Bangalore, and New York, while helping redefine how business information providers package, license, and monetise content, and contributing thought leadership at industry summits and forums.

Later, as Managing Director of Content Catalyst (Publish Interactive), she scaled a triple-patented SaaS platform used by global analyst firms to deliver research-as-a-service, further advancing innovation in research publishing and analyst workflow delivery.

Building on this foundation, Mitali has broadened her impact through entrepreneurship and community leadership. She is Founder of CastRooms, a music-tech start-up creating shared digital experiences to combat online isolation, and Chair of MAP Charity, where she has helped secure over £2.5M in funding to build Hope Foundry, a creative hub supporting alternative education in Leeds.

This combination of deep industry expertise, entrepreneurial drive, and commitment to community impact makes Mitali uniquely positioned for her current role at The Data City, where she advises on strategy, growth, and innovation within the fast-evolving world of data-driven market intelligence.
