Although awareness of tech companies’ data gathering has grown in recent years – especially with the 2018 introduction of GDPR – many consumers still struggle to know what’s happening with their data and who they can trust with it. Ryan – who will deliver a keynote at the Cloud Expo Europe Main Stage this March – says Brave is the answer to this problem.

Kevin Tewis-Allen kicked off his glittering career photographing international pop group Five Star. A few years later, he was appearing behind the camera himself, hitting #7 in the charts with his first hit record. Despite the long and “soul-destroying” hours, over his musical career Kevin built up a catalogue of 13 top ten hits and 7 number one singles and was awarded BBC Radio One Producer of the Decade 1990-2000 by DJ firebrand Pete Tong.
