PrivIQ appoints Benjamin King as Commercial Director to lead its next phase of growth

PrivIQ today announced the appointment of Benjamin King as Commercial Director. Benjamin will lead the company’s combined sales and marketing function — building out PrivIQ’s direct sales capability and enabling its partner channels to support the company’s ambitious growth plans.

Amsterdam, Netherlands — 6 August 2026

Benjamin brings over 16 years of experience across industry, consulting and sales, including the last seven years driving international growth for one of the world’s largest governance, risk and compliance (GRC) providers. He joins PrivIQ motivated by the opportunity to bring that experience into the fast-evolving privacy and AI governance space.

“Benjamin joins us at exactly the right moment. His track record supporting international growth for a global GRC leader, combined with his consulting and industry background, makes him ideally placed to build our direct sales engine and deepen our partner ecosystem. Bringing marketing and sales together under his leadership will help us turn PrivIQ’s momentum into sustained, ambitious growth.”

— Tai Chesselet, Founder & CTO, PrivIQ 

“Privacy compliance is a real and growing struggle for most organisations, and AI is now multiplying it. What drew me to PrivIQ is a rare combination: a proven, European-built platform already solving that problem, at exactly the moment businesses need pragmatic, risk-based control over how they use AI. After ten years selling in the InfoSec and GRC space, and having worked with the Gallo team on the due diligence for this investment, I could see the fit clearly. Leading the sales and marketing team, my focus now is scaling PrivIQ across EMEA and into the Americas, backed by the depth of talent already here.”

— Benjamin King, Commercial Director, PrivIQ
