Sir Afilonius Rex, Bilbao, Monday 30th March 2026

Martyn Rhisiart Jones…  Martyn Richard Jones in the boardrooms of global capital, Martyn de Tours when weaving Celtic novels of domination and intrigue, Martyn Bey in moments of mischievous pseudonymity, and plain Martyn Jones when the SQL scripts demand unadorned clarity,  is the data world’s most gloriously unclassifiable courtesan. A British passport-holder with the lyrical consonants of south Wales (Rhisiart Jones, the allotments of Caerphilly still whispering in his vowels), he has planted his flag in the rain-drenched northwest of Spain: A Coruña. Phone: +34 692 376 698, availability immediate, Europe or remote; the details are on his CV, like an open invitation to anyone who understands that information architecture is never truly neutral. Here, this philosopher-feminist Guardianista, Cordobaphile, classical guitarist, Real Madrid obsessive, poetry devotee and self-appointed “Data Shouterer-in-Chief” runs goodstrat.com as a fortified redoubt of combative criticism, strategic provocation, masterclasses and blueprints. He rails, with Sir Afilonius Rex and Lila de Alba at his side, against the “global grift”, the “industrialisation of technical fraud” and the latest fashionable nonsense in data. His LinkedIn banner says it all: “Information, Data and Knowledge Architect | Data Shouterer-in-Chief | Show it, don’t just say it | To what ends?”,  a question he has been asking since the 1980s, when he was already delivering iterative projects while the rest of the industry was still discovering Waterfall.
