Nicholas Oliver

Nicholas is the Co-Founder of FORTYEIGHT, a UK startup at the intersection of artificial intelligence, human rights and consent.

Previously founded people.io - a startup that sought to give people control over the access, use and value of their data. Following a number of early success signals; the slow shift towards consumer-centric data models, a struggle to find our commercial product market fit and hiring challenges unfortunately led the company to cease trading in late 2018.

Throughout my career, I have held numerous strategic & innovation positions, supporting companies that ranged from early stage start-ups to the Fortune 10 .

I specialise in the enablement of innovation within organisations, in order to develop commercially viable strategies designed to enhance consumer experience and increase brand & product value.
