Author of The Little Black Book of Data and Democracy - From innocent tweeting to an attempted coup.How social media threatens our very way of life - and what you can do about it.

I am a leading expert and campaigner on digital democracy reform and platform regulation.

I am the founder and director of Fair Vote UK, which published whistleblower evidence of Vote Leave’s lawbreaking in the EU referendum and supported Chris Wylie’s whistleblower revelations around Cambridge Analytica’s global data theft and misappropriation.

I was the Campaign Director and Chief of Staff to a UK government minister and have worked on half a dozen election campaigns in the UK and the USA, including the 2016 US Presidential Campaign and the 2020 US Georgia Senate Runoff.

Through my consultancy I help progressive organisations shift their window of possibility by applying political campaigning principals to traditional and digital communication, mobilisation, fundraising and marketing design with a particular specialisation in cross-generational engagement.

I have spent my career working internationally in progressive movement politics and community-led social change. I've lived on four continents and travelled and worked in over 100 countries.

I also enjoy taking on immense physical challenges to raise money for charity. I have run the London marathon, swam an opener water marathon in the English channel, trekked to Everest Base Camp and summited Mount Kilimanjaro twice, personally raising over £50,000 for various charities.
