Frank Schemmel is basically the gofer at data protection service provider DataGuard. This is by no means meant in a disparaging way but it is how the doctor of law describes himself in view of his diverse field of responsibilities. Schemmel joined DataGuard at an early stage when the company was still in the start-up phase. After several management positions and a three-month sabbatical, Schemmel is now part of the product development team. In addition to data protection, DataGuard also takes care of information security and consent management.
