Data analytics firm recruits privacy and tech lawyer Aoife Sexton

Privacy and technology lawyer Aoife Sexton has joined data analytics and anonymisation firm Trūata as its chief privacy officer.

Ms Sexton joins from law firm Tech Law Services, where she has been principal for the past six years, advising technology clients in the areas of data protection, commercial contracts and IP.

Trūata is the first data analytics firm in Europe held via a trust structure and designed specifically with GDPR compliance in mind.

It was established by Mastercard and IBM in March as the world’s first GDPR-compliant data analytics services company.

Felix Marx, CEO of Trūata, said: “I’m delighted to have Aoife join our core management team. Providing solutions that allow our customers to conduct value-driven analytics, while fully complying with GDPR, is at the heart of what Trūata does.

“Aoife’s extensive knowledge and experience in the data protection space will prove invaluable to Trūata in ensuring that it has the best-in-class GDPR-compliant data analytics solution.”
