Mine hires veteran privacy executive Ron De Jesus to lead global trust strategy
Former American Express and Match Group leader joins to steer trust strategy in AI-driven data era.
Israeli startup Mine has appointed Ron De Jesus, a prominent figure in privacy strategy, as Chief Trust Officer and Head of Privacy Strategy, as it seeks to strengthen its global positioning in an increasingly complex regulatory environment.
De Jesus brings nearly two decades of experience leading privacy strategies at global organizations that manage sensitive data for billions of users, including Grindr, Match Group, owner of Tinder and OkCupid, as well as American Express, and consulting firms Deloitte and PwC.
Mine, founded in 2019 by Koby Nissan, Gal Golan, and Gal Ringel, has developed an autonomous platform for managing privacy, risk, and regulatory compliance. The company operates from Tel Aviv and Boston, and serves global organizations including Wiz, HelloFresh, Miro, SharkNinja, Selfridges, and Ford.
In his new role, De Jesus will lead Mine’s trust strategy with global clients and partners, spearheading initiatives at the intersection of privacy and artificial intelligence. He is also expected to play a central role in shaping the company’s messaging and ensuring that customer challenges are reflected in the development of its flagship product, MineOS.
“Trust is the hardest thing to build in this industry, and the easiest to lose,” De Jesus said. “The only way to build it is through genuine practical experience, not theory. Throughout my career, I have worked with organizations in complex environments, and I have realized that effective privacy does not start and end with regulation, but in the way it is implemented in practice. This is exactly what I bring to Mine, a bridge between regulation, artificial intelligence, and reality on the ground, along with a commitment to helping privacy professionals think more clearly about what is right to do, not just what is required of them.”
Mine’s platform is designed to replace manual privacy processes with continuous, autonomous systems, positioning privacy and compliance as integrated operational functions rather than standalone requirements. The company is backed by investors including Battery Ventures, PayPal Ventures, Nationwide Ventures, and Gradient Ventures.
