Geoff White

Geoff White is an investigative journalist and eminent specialist in technologies. Associated in large part with Channel 4 News and the BBC, and producing an exemplary body of work throughout his career, Geoff is a particular authority on digital security, personal data and the dark web.

Among numerous projects, Geoff is responsible for an eye-opening range of productions that seem increasingly essential viewing in the modern world. The Data Baby was an early, vital exploration of personal data usage employing the use of an entirely fictional online persona.

More recently, Geoff enlightened disconcerted audience members at the 2017 Fringe with The Secret Life of Your Mobile Phone, a demonstration of the discreet and sometimes undesirable activities and communications of all our personal devices. This has since turned into something of a runaway hit.

Delving further into the shadowy parts of contemporary life, Geoff’s most recent Dark Web podcast series is an unflinching study of a side to the internet that most of us know little about, but that, among other ills, is facilitating an extraordinarily far-reaching and dangerous black market.

This extensive experience combined with Geoff’s ability to package these concepts into truly compelling presentations has made him a popular and sought-out figure of technological expertise.
