In this episode: Today, from Down Under, we welcome Katryna Dow, CEO & Founder of Meeco, a company that is on a mission to help you retain your data sovereignty. "It's your life. It's your data. You own it."
Most conversations around Big Data are from the marketing angle of how brands can benefit from that data. However, as individuals, if you could retain control over who uses that data and how it is used, wouldn't that shift your perspective? Do we assume that we give it away freely because we think we have no choice in the matter?
Katryna believes that your data and information belong to you, and that you should be able to control the picture your data paints of your life and what's important to you. Derived from this belief (and a healthy concern of the picture of future personal advertising, painted in the movie, Minority Report), she created Meeco as a way to empower individuals to retain control of your data's value exchange.
