David Turner - Technology Leader

As a technology leader, my experience spans product development, marketing, legal and corporate affair, international standards development, and technology evangelism. I have expertise in a diverse range of technologies including:
  • Security and identity in the cloud
  • Privacy, privacy enhancing technologies and regulatory policies
  • Mobile applications and devices
  • Web services (WS-*, REST)
  • SGML and XML

I have been involved with the development of industry and international standards for over 15 years and I have a strong reputation for resolving conflict and building consensus through diplomacy and persuasive communications. I produce results with long-term value by balancing the often conflicting demands of business, technical, policy, and regulatory requirements.
