He is the U.S. CEO of digi.me, a web and mobile platform that helps individuals own, control, and serve as the primary beneficiary of their personal data. Green is also the founder and Executive Chair of a startup called UBDI, a data marketplace for individuals to monetize their data.

Previously, Green served as vice president of Nokia/NAVTEQ’s Locations division, where he had global responsibility for all place-based and pedestrian mapping and location content, which was used by over 100 million people daily.
