Ted has spent the last 15 years working as an analyst, partnering with the rest of the business to help everyone make better decisions and build better processes to move faster, serve more customers, and improve efficiency. Prior to Privacy Dynamics, Ted was SVP of Strategy and Data at MakeSpace, where he guided the growth of the business for 7 years, and where he was an early adopter of dbt and the Modern Data Stack. While Ted leads the internal analytics efforts at Privacy Dynamics, he is also an archetypical customer with a lot of relationships in the data community.

He loves enabling people and making them successful, and that applies to Privacy Dynamic’s teammates, customers, and broader community members. Ted’s two young children have displaced most of his hobbies, but he still likes to sometimes hike, mountain bike, rock climb, run, bake sourdough bread (and beignets), play ukulele, and take photographs.

Craig has 22 years of experience designing, architecting and engineering software systems. Most of Craig's time has been as a consultant, helping customers deal with complex data needs including data modeling, management and integration strategies. Craig also has extensive experience in API design and management, particularly for public consumption. As a backend engineer, Craig spends a lot of time integrating third services to our products. He also loves tools, so he spends a lot of time thinking about and fiddling with various tools that make our internal and external processes faster, cleaner and more headache-free. If it requires more cowbell, Craig's the guy to take it on. Craig finds too much interesting and also has no attention span. He is currently spending (not enough) time training for duathlons, tasting whisky, learning about F1 cars and trying to master the art of 3D printing with his 9 year-old son. While failing in all of it, he's loving every minute of it.

Founder and CEO of Privacy Dynamics, Graham Thompson and has spent over 12 years within the tech industry. After earning his MBA at the University of San Francisco, Graham joined Microsoft where he helped enterprise and public sector customers navigate privacy regulations like GDPR as they moved workloads to Azure. Graham spearheaded several privacy research engagements with Microsoft Research and the academic community, which led to innovations such as SmartNoise, an open source toolkit that injects noise into data to prevent the disclosure of sensitive information and manage exposure risk. Inspired by growing concern over the collection and use of personal information, Graham founded Privacy Dynamics to make privacy a more reasonable task for data teams to put into their daily practice. Graham believes that startup life doesn’t have to be a miserable grind, and in fact can be the most fun job in the world. He balances the demands of building Privacy Dynamics by tackling 2,000 piece lego sets with his kids, or getting deep into the mountains on a pair of skis.

Will has over 15 years of experience designing and implementing complex applications. In his previous role, he focused heavily on search, recommendation, and content processing systems while building out the digital legal research platform for O'Connor's (now owned by Thomson Reuters). At Privacy Dynamics, while leading engineering solution designs and being very tedious, his data is more tabular, and his computations are more numerical, but maintenance and performance are still key. When Will isn't building software, he might be found making coffee, eating tacos, or shaking his fist at clouds.
