I’m a tech industry strategy adviser. I work with start-ups and scale-ups on growth strategy and product development, and advise UK government on tech policy relating to security, trust and online harms.
I’m also Vice Chair at the UK Cyber Security Council and outgoing Chair of the NCT.
My interests are digital trust and cybersecurity, risk and governance, data, and the role of tech in civil society.
