Hi, I’m Owen.
I am a expert in the law and regulation of digital technologies. My most recent role was as a senior public policy manager at Mozilla, the public benefit technology company and maker of the Firefox web browser. I am based in London, and previously spent eight years in Brussels' EU quarter.
My substantive expertise is policy issues related to the regulation of illegal and harmful content online, but I have also worked across the full range of contemporary digital policy issues, including cybersecurity; competition; and privacy.
I have close to 10 years professional experience in public policy, and have previously worked as an EU digital policy consultant with a leading public affairs agency in Brussels and in a number of communications roles in Dublin.
I graduated with distinction in my LL.M degree in Information Technology law at the University of Edinburgh. I also hold a first class honours undergraduate major degree in Philosophy and a second class honours undergraduate minor degree in Economics from Trinity College Dublin.
I regularly write, speak, and provide media commentary on digital policy issues (more information in the ‘my work’ section). To get in touch, my contact details can be found at the bottom of this page.
