Hi, I'm Harry
The short version
A privacy executive and three-time founder with more than twenty years in technology leadership.
I built and exited three companies, most recently selling Clickagy to ZoomInfo (Nasdaq: GTM). After that, I founded Privacy Bee to take on the problem the ad-tech industry created and would not fix: personal data bought, sold and weaponised without consent.
Today I testify, advise and build, translating what happens inside the data trade for legislators, boards and the seventy-plus newsrooms that call when a privacy story breaks.

Dawn of Data
Data is people. Data itself is neutral. What matters is who holds it and what they do with it.
Twenty years inside the machine, written by the person who helped build it. How behavioural data actually works, who trades in it, what it has already cost, and what can still be done about it.
