After completing a passion project in 2009, writing and directing Wales’s first online drama series (before Netflix was a thing) I saw the light and moved into tech. Aged 29, I developed a successful B2B IT infrastructure and cybersecurity sales management career.

After completing a passion project in 2009, writing and directing Wales’s first online drama series (before Netflix was a thing) I saw the light and moved into tech. Aged 29, I developed a successful B2B IT infrastructure and cybersecurity sales management career.

Then, alongside training to be a yoga and meditation teacher, in 2016 I moved into data protection consultancy. After helping to build a consultancy practice and some of the earliest practical applications of the EU GDPR into hundreds of organisations I moved to in-house specialist for the largest global psychometric testing firm, undergoing a 50 billion datapoint AWS migration.

Following this I became DPO for government backed research centres within the What Works Network where I also implemented the first non-governmental research dataset into the UK Office for National Statistics. In 2023, I was moved to play my part to help improve the country further by becoming the Data Protection Officer for The Labour Party.

Now, as founder and CEO of Datum Longevitus, I’m passionate about helping organizations share data safely and ethically for genuine human benefit. I’ve dedicated myself to turning the idea that Data Saves Lives into reality by creating trusted data-sharing ecosystems.

My mission is to empower founders, researchers, and tech leaders to unlock the value of their data while respecting individual privacy and fostering trust whilst also making the understanding of such things understandable and approachable for everyone.
