Adrianne Youngman, CEO of Partisia Blockchain - Unlocking Privacy with Better User Experience: Partisia's Vision


Adrienne Youngman, CEO of Partisia Blockchain, believes that privacy and usability can coexist to drive innovation. Youngman highlighted how self-custody of data can enhance user experiences while ensuring security.
Using multi-party computation (MPC), Partisia enables users to perform complex tasks, like credit scoring or anti-money laundering checks, with minimal friction. "Users can complete processes with a single click, reducing churn while meeting regulatory demands," she explained.
Youngman emphasized that privacy isn’t just about protection—it’s also a regulatory necessity. She cited Partisia’s work with the Danish government, where encrypted health data allows insights without exposing sensitive information.
As AI accelerates data collection and usage, Youngman sees privacy-preserving technologies as crucial. She warned that unchecked AI could compromise trust in digital systems, making self-custody and privacy-by-design vital safeguards.
By combining cutting-edge cryptography with user-friendly solutions, Partisia is demonstrating how privacy-focused technologies can unlock new possibilities across industries while protecting individual freedoms.
