Jason Du Preez, the CEO, and co-founder of data privacy provider Privitar joins me on Tech Talks Daily. Born in South Africa, he launched Privitar in London in 2014 and has since taken the company global, recently securing $87M in funding, including a $7M investment from Privitar customer HSBC bank which takes them to a grand total of $150 million. After witnessing the lack of consideration for data protection when adopting big data platforms firsthand, Jason shares his insights and experiences within the space. We discuss how CEOs can make data privacy part of their leadership roadmap. On the topic of HR and bias data, we explore what it means for leadership. We also talk about COVID-19 and its effect on how businesses approach data privacy, especially as we see an increase in contract tracing in the workplace and beyond. Finally we discuss the ethical concerns surrounding data privacy and how businesses can move forward without jeopardizing employees’/customers personal data or productivity.
