The tech company DPella AB, operating in Differential Privacy analytics, today announced that it is strengthening its advisory board and ownership base with two internationally recognized experts in privacy-preserving technologies and large-scale data systems: David Mazières and Borja de Balle Pigem. Both have also invested in the company and are now part of its ownership structure, reflecting strong personal confidence in the company’s technology, vision, and long-term potential.
David Mazières is Professor of Computer Science at Stanford University, Chief Scientist and co-founder of Stellar, and one of the world’s leading authorities in computer security. Borja de Balle Pigem is the founder of Optiak and former senior researcher at Google DeepMind and Amazon, globally recognized for delivering Differential Privacy at industrial scale.
“I have worked with David for many years while I was at Stanford, and I can say without hesitation that he is one of the most exceptional security researchers and system builders I have ever encountered. Having David onboard guarantees DPella a genuine connection to Silicon Valley: its networks, its thinking, and its ecosystem of innovation. That bridge is invaluable as we scale internationally”, says Alejandro Russo, CEO and co-founder, DPella AB.
“Borja is well-known in the Differential Privacy community not just as a brilliant researcher, but as someone who has delivered Differential Privacy inside major tech companies at scale. That combination of theoretical depth and hands-on industrial experience is exactly what we need to shape our product roadmap”, says Marco Gaboardi, Chief scientist and co-founder, DPella AB
"DPella represents a new generation of deep tech companies emerging from the Swedish research ecosystem—where world-class science is translated into scalable, real-world solutions. Strengthening the company with advisors of this calibre, who also choose to invest, is a clear validation of both the technology and the team. We are excited to continue supporting DPella on its international growth journey", says Daniel Poté, Business Developer at GU Ventures.
Mazières and de Balle Pigem have not only joined the company’s advisory board—they have also invested and become shareholders in DPella.
DPella is a spin-off from Chalmers University of Technology and the University of Gothenburg. Today, DPella is the only company in the Nordics fully focused on Differential Privacy and a leading player in privacy-preserving data analytics in Europe. With several patent applications and growing demand from the pharmaceutical industry, the healthcare sector, and the public sector, the company is well positioned for continued growth.
