Ian was one of the first employees to join the Office of the Commissioner in December 2002 after successfully completing his studies at the University of Malta, where he obtained degrees in computing and in business management.
His first tasks were to assist the Commissioner on capacity building and on the implementation of the new set of rules which introduced fundamental rights to data subjects and imposed obligations on data controllers.
