Auspex International

Auspex International is a data analytics company founded in London in 2018 by Mark Turnbull and Ahmad Al Khatib, both of whom had previously been associated with Cambridge Analytica. The company emerged after the collapse of Cambridge Analytica, whose business and data practices became the subject of intense scrutiny following the Facebook–Cambridge Analytica data scandal. Auspex was therefore part of a broader group of ventures established by former Cambridge Analytica personnel after that company’s downfall. Publicly available descriptions characterize Auspex International primarily through its analytical work and geographic focus rather than through a widely documented consumer product portfolio. Its stated operating sphere includes Africa and the Middle East, where data analysis can support research, communications, political or public-affairs work, and other forms of decision-making. The available reference material does not provide enough detail to identify specific software products, named client accounts, campaign brands, revenue figures, ownership arrangements, or a current corporate leadership structure. The company’s historical significance is closely linked to its founders’ professional backgrounds and the wider debate about the use of personal data, behavioral targeting, political consulting, and digital influence. That association does not by itself establish that Auspex International engaged in the conduct attributed to Cambridge Analytica; the available material only identifies the founders’ former affiliation and the company’s formation in the aftermath of Cambridge Analytica’s collapse. Details about Auspex’s present status, headquarters, website, legal structure, and current activities are not established by the supplied sources and therefore remain unconfirmed.

Auspex International was established in London in 2018 by Mark Turnbull and Ahmad Al Khatib, former Cambridge Analytica staff members. Its creation followed the public and corporate collapse of Cambridge Analytica amid the Facebook–Cambridge Analytica data scandal, which raised international concerns about the acquisition and use of personal data for political and behavioral targeting. The company was one of several businesses founded by people previously connected with Cambridge Analytica after that firm’s downfall. This background is central to the limited public history available for Auspex International, because the company was identified in contemporary descriptions primarily through its founders’ former professional affiliation and its work in data analytics. The available reference material does not document a separate founding transaction, investment round, rebranding, merger, or change in ownership. Auspex International has been described as operating in Africa and the Middle East. The sources do not provide a detailed account of its clients, contracts, methodologies, technologies, electoral projects, public-affairs assignments, or revenue. They also do not establish whether the company remains active, its current headquarters, or its current executive team beyond identifying the two founders. Consequently, the company’s documented history remains concise: it was formed in London in 2018 by former Cambridge Analytica personnel and developed as a data analytics business with regional activity in Africa and the Middle East.
