About Benjamin Buswell
I founded DatumSure in 2017 to solve one of the hardest problems in enterprise data: how to make siloed, regulated, and distributed data AI-ready — in weeks, not months — without ever moving or exposing it. That idea became Tapestry, our AI-native data insight platform that delivers real-time answers across ecosystems by sharing insights, not data. It’s now helping Fortune 100s and government institutions unlock faster decisions, stronger governance, and scalable innovation without compromising privacy or control. The foundation for DatumSure was laid over 15 years working inside some of the world’s most complex, data-intensive organizations — AIG, The Hartford, Prudential, and Disney/ESPN. Again and again, I saw innovation bottlenecked by the same unsolved tension: to access data fast, you had to sacrifice compliance, replicate infrastructure, or create risk. With Tapestry, that tradeoff disappears. Our clients ask cross-silo, multi-party questions and get governed, instant answers - across business units, partners, and regulatory lines - without moving a single byte. My background in enterprise economics, data architecture, and business model transformation allows me to bridge the gap between IT constraints and executive ambition. I work with CEOs, CTOs, and innovation teams to modernize insight delivery without disrupting existing controls. I’m especially focused on helping leaders in financial services, healthcare, insurance, and the public sector unlock trusted, real-time insight at scale — so they can drive decisions, revenue, and transformation without compromise.
