Our CEO, Max Buchan, explains how Valarian's data sovereignty platform moved from multinational enterprises to defence institutions -- and what current geopolitical shifts mean for data control.

Valarian CEO Max Buchan appeared on Bloomberg Television to discuss how Valarian's data sovereignty platform now serves both enterprise clients and defence institutions. Originally built to help multinational companies like airlines and banks manage data across jurisdictions, the same technology is being used for national security requirements as territorial data control becomes operationally critical.
What Max Discusses
The Problem: Multinational enterprises struggling to ring-fence data in specific jurisdictions. Airlines managing passenger information across borders. Banks handling financial data under different regulatory frameworks.
The Solution: Technology that compartmentalises and isolates data where it needs to be. Organisations gain absolute certainty about where information resides and who can access it.
Geopolitical Context: CEO Max Buchan shares his perspective on why this is happening now, in what he calls "a really interesting time in history geopolitically speaking."
Why This Matters
Data sovereignty challenges are evolving beyond compliance into operational necessity. Territory matters more for data management than it has in decades.
Bloomberg's Tom Mackenzie draws out insights about why organisations across sectors are discovering that compartmentalised data control isn't optional anymore. It's foundational infrastructure.
The same technical capabilities that enable enterprise compliance also serve national security requirements. For anyone managing sensitive data across borders -- whether in commercial or government environments—the conversation offers strategic perspective on where these trends are heading.
