I’m Janis 👋 and I’m passionate about making data protection, AI, governance, and ethics work for you by exploring legal, technological, sociotechnical, and policy solutions 🚀
With experience in public and private sector practice, research, and strategy, my work has been featured and presented on the BBC, Business Insider, London Tech Week, and UK and international Parliaments.
I hold an interdisciplinary PhD in Computer Science on data protection and data governance, awarded the Council of Europe Stefano Rodotà Award for best data protection thesis.
I am always looking to help individuals and organisations make responsible and sustainable technology adoption and governance a reality, so please do get in touch ✨
