Data Security Officer
Sorcha is an exited tech founder, operator and qualified coach. She brings product thinking, data and AI strategy and deep privacy expertise, turning complexity into decisions teams can build on.
Her knowledge of data security and support in the minefield of the NHS has been essential to our company.
Her career spans technology, data, privacy, product and brand. She has held senior corporate roles, worked in creative brand agencies, and built and scaled Trace Data, her data and privacy consulting and tech business, through to its acquisition by Datavant, the US healthcare data company. She has also developed SaaS products from idea through to market.
She combines deep expertise in privacy, data governance, information security risk and responsible AI with strong commercial, creative and technical instincts. She is particularly good at sitting between founders, product and engineering teams, customers and regulation: translating complexity into products, data models and practical solutions that people can actually build, use and sell.
Sorcha is a natural fit for businesses doing something new or navigating change: shaping products and propositions, solving difficult data and AI problems, entering new markets, building enterprise and investor confidence, or preparing for growth and exit. She can work as a fractional senior leader, strategic adviser, product and data partner or founder mentor.
A qualified coach, she has also provided expert mentoring to technology founders through Techstars and Barclays.
