I am an accomplished analyst, adviser and innovator in data protection, and “one of the world's most original thinkers in identity” Over 35 years R&D experience in Australia and the USA, with nearly 30 years dedicated to data protection, digital identity and privacy. I help clients large and small find right-sized strategic solutions to today’s big data protection challenges. In 2004 I founded Lockstep Consulting, to provide independent research and advice on data protection and research solutions for provenance and fidelity of personal data. My work is at the heart of what's now being called "Verified Information". In 2013 I took up a conjoint appointment with independent Silicon Valley-based Constellation Research where I lead the Digital Safety and Privacy business theme. My recent projects have included independent expert review of the Treasury's Consumer Data Right privacy posture and identity strategy, a new mobile credentials wallet for the U.S. Dept of Homeland Security, privacy roadmap for a health sector peak body's cloud platform, identity strategy for the New South Wales Digital Driver License, and a total of ten Privacy Impact Assessments for NSW government COVIDSafe programs under extreme deadline pressures.
