I created DataHub to make it easier for legal practitioners, Data Protection Officers (DPOs), and policymakers to stay current on data protection and AI regulation across Africa. The platform brings together structured legal updates, expert insights, and a growing research archive.
With a background in advisory, operations, and executive roles, I’ve seen first-hand the gaps professionals face in turning complex laws into workable decisions. That’s why DataHub is built to be practical and actionable, whether you are drafting a policy, reviewing a contract, or managing compliance across borders.
