Under the leadership of Tom Kemp, a highly experienced Silicon Valley-based author, policy advisor, entrepreneur, and cybersecurity executive, Kemp Au Ventures is deeply embedded in the technological ecosystem. Tom Kemp's expertise is reflected in his work – from his leadership at Centrify, a leading cybersecurity cloud provider, to his advocacy for privacy rights and his involvement in the legislative process of privacy laws such as California Proposition 24 and state privacy laws like SB 362 and SB 2105. His book 'Containing Big Tech' underscores his expertise and commitment to addressing issues surrounding big tech's impact on civil rights, the economy, and democracy. The strategic guidance and investment from Kemp Au Ventures are thus informed by a robust understanding of the tech industry's undercurrents and a commitment to ethical practices and sustainable growth.
