Danushi Peiris

Regulatory Affairs Manager
BT Group

I am a Regulatory Affairs Manager at a leading UK internet service provider (ISP), focussing on digital policy and regulation, including cloud services, digital markets, content distribution and net neutrality. I have an interest in technology policy relating to the technology, media and telecommunications (TMT) industries.

I have experience in UK government working on digital policy. At DCMS, I worked on understanding and designing economic incentives to encourage cyber resilience in organisations across the UK. I also lead on cyber insurance and worked on the cyber resilience legislative package.

My work in technology policy is based on my academic background in business, science and policy. I hold an MPhil in Technology Policy from the University of Cambridge, including a capstone project with DCMS. I also hold a BSc Advanced – Global Challenges (First Class) degree from Monash University Australia.

Drawing on my business and scientific understanding, I worked in science strategy consulting at Australia’s National Science Agency CSIRO (The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation) across a range of industries including healthcare, energy and education.

Open to being contacted by event organisers and journalists with relevant speaking or media opportunities.
