UK Senior Vice President at Palantir Technologies
Videos
After six wonderful years at UK Music, I'm joining Palantir UK as Senior Vice President. Palantir is the most interesting company on the planet, doing work of real consequence: helping Britain and its allies defend themselves, helping police protect our citizens and helping NHS staff get patients treated and home sooner. London is comfortably its largest centre outside the US, home to more than one in six employees, the highest proportion among the world's largest technology companies. We have challenges. Some criticism is propaganda. Some raises legitimate questions about large technology companies and sovereign control. Both require answers. Part of my role will be to correct false information while working with our engineers to ensure privacy, security and respect for sovereignty are at the heart of everything we do.

Palantir’s critics would have you believe we have a monopoly on government technology spend, with one MP saying there are “tentacles here that stretch into so many corners of the British state” and comparing our business practices to “what drug dealers do.” Last time I checked, there were 23 government departments. We have contracts with two of them. We also work with some police forces, the National Energy System Operator (NESO) and precisely one of nearly 400 local authorities in UK. I’d love for us to do more, but let’s keep things in perspective.
