Leadership

The Human Colossus Foundation (HCF) is a Swiss-based independent non-profit organisation (IDE: CHE-441.741.202) working globally to create and foster the development of critical infrastructure for a data-agile economy, coined the Dynamic Data Economy (DDE). Founded in 2020 by Phillippe Page, Paul Knowles, and Robert Mitwicki, who first met at a MyData Conference, the Foundation believes that a Dynamic Data Economy can empower people to use sovereign reason to attain objects or put ideas into effect without being beholden to third-party operators siloing and processing personal data, leaving individuals to enjoy their fundamental right to achieve prosperity, freedom, fairness, and education unencumbered by network-based perimeters.

Philippe Page

Head of the Knowledge Council

Philippe Page (PhD) is a leading figure in distributed governance methodology and a true pioneer in distributed data governance operations and frameworks. His data governance expertise stems from a 20-year career in finance where he witnessed enterprise digital transformation from the inside within international banks, e.g. EFG Group, Deutsche Bank, and as a C-suite executive for Mirabaud, a Geneva-based private bank.

Paul Knowles

Head of the Advisory Council

Paul Knowles, the founding father of 'Decentralised Semantics,' created the groundbreaking Overlays Capture Architecture (OCA) to revolutionize data harmonization in the Dynamic Data Economy (DDE). With a 25-year career in Clinical Data Management (CDM), he has led transformative data integration and semantics projects for top pharmaceutical companies, including Roche, Novartis, GlaxoSmithKline, Amgen, and Pfizer.

Robert Mitwicki

Head of the Technology Council

Robert Mitwicki is a pioneer in decentralised core utility technologies. He invented and is leading the development of the SELF Actioning System (SAS), a key DDE software interface component that provides a way to look at and interact with information in distributed data ecosystems. His reputation as a decentralised technology expert and innovator stems from high-level software design decisions that continue to shape the DDE.
