Having worked in direct marketing for 16 years, Andy recognised the impact the incoming GDPR would have on this industry and co-founded DAMM Solutions Group (trading as Privacy Helper) in 2017. Under his leadership, Privacy Helper has become one of the UK’s leading privacy consultancies, supporting hundreds of organisations and winning long-term national and international contracts with major brands. Andy contributes and provides comment in articles on privacy matters and has spoken on topical matters at industry events. He is a specialist in biometric processing (in particular, fingerprint scanning and facial recognition), supporting clients in their deployment of such technologies in a GDPR-compliant manner. He is also a member of the Betting and Gaming Council’s Working Group on Live Facial Recognition.
