Aris was a senior-level database marketing person, operating predominantly and most recently within the charity sector. He then decided to take his enthusiasm for data protection to anyone willing to listen. Since then he’s been travelling around the country running training workshops, mostly for small charities, debunking and describing in plain English what the GDPR actually is, what it says, what that means for organisations big and small, and how to prepare for it. Aris has a shamelessly no-nonsense approach, that means no waffle, no scaremongering and an honest approach to data protection.
