Nathan Bent Joins Act Now Training Team 

Act Now Training is pleased to announce that Nathan Bent has joined its team of associates. 

Nathan is a data protection specialist and a Certified Data Ethics Practitioner with the Open Data Institute (ODI). He has delivered over 40 courses in the past six months, covering Data Governance, Data Protection, Data Privacy, Data Security and Data Ethics. 

Throughout his career, Nathan has been recognised as a caring, joyful, and
people-oriented leader who is passionate about developing others and sharing knowledge. Nathan brings this passion and experience into every learning session, using practical, easy-to-understand examples, case studies, and real-life experiences to help each participant succeed. 

Nathan has worked as a Data Protection Officer, Data and Information Governance Manager, Chief Information Security Officer and Head of Data Governance and Technology in varying sectors from Engineering and Energy, to Social Housing and MedTech.  Over the past 25 years, he has led, coached, and educated teams that deliver data management, complex data insights, forecasting, statistical analysis, big data, data visualisation, data ethics, and legal and med-tech systems. 

Nathan said: 

“I am so pleased to be joining the Act Now team whose values and ethos are so closely aligned to mine. I have a lifelong passion for learning and knowledge. My training sessions are known for being dynamic, full of enthusiasm and often filled with laughter. I have made it my mission over the years to make what are often dry or (dare I say) boring subjects, fun and engaging.” 

Alongside Dr. Cedric Krummes, Nathan, our second recent appointment, will assist us in continuing to serve and deliver training courses for our clients. He will conduct
one-day workshops and our new AI Governance Practitioner Certificate. We warmly welcome Nathan to our team of dedicated and passionate trainers. 

Act Now Expands its Training Team 

At Act Now Training, we believe in building a privacy-conscious world. Our goal is to promote trust and respect for privacy, ensuring organisations embed data protection into their operations by default. Our  team of associates break down complex legal concepts, making education accessible and empowering IG professionals to become leaders in their field. By fostering a culture of responsible data usage, we help build public trust and drive positive change. 

With new courses launching in 2025, including the very popular AI Governance Practitioner Certificate, we are seeing a surge in demand for in house and public training courses. To service this demand, we are welcoming an additional information law expert to our team.  

Dr. Cedric Krummes has worked as a Data Protection Officer, Information Governance Manager, Information Security Officer, and Data Owner in various sectors. He has been teaching and training for over 20 years in a wide range of industries, countries, and languages. He has presented papers at international conferences, spoken on panels and facilitated workshops. Cedric can explain complex topics in an engaging, practical, and jargon-free way. He will be assisting our team to deliver everything from one-day workshops to advanced practitioner certificate courses. 

Ibrahim Hasan, Director of Act Now Training, said: 

“I am very pleased that Cedric has joined our team. His strong educational background coupled with experience of working in IG for many years, will help us continue to equip IG professionals with the knowledge and skills they need to navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of data protection and privacy landscape.”
