Neil Rawlins is a recognised voice on digital resilience and the future of data protection in a cloud-first world. As organisations become increasingly dependent on SaaS and distributed systems, he challenges conventional assumptions about availability, risk, and control, focusing on what it truly takes to remain operational when critical systems fail.

At Keepit, Neil works at the intersection of technology, risk, and business continuity, helping organisations rethink how they prepare for disruption. His perspective is shaped by real world failure scenarios, from outages and human error to cyber incidents. Bringing clarity to the often-overlooked gap between perceived resilience and actual recovery capability.

Neil’s keynote sessions move beyond tooling and architecture to address a more fundamental question: how do organisations build confidence in an environment where failure is inevitable? He offers a strategic lens on resilience as a business discipline, translating complex technical challenges into clear, actionable principles that leaders can apply across their organisations.

A regular speaker at global forums including Tech Show London and Gartner conferences, Neil is known for delivering thought-provoking, insight-led talks that reframe how audiences think about cloud dependency, risk exposure, and recovery readiness.

His work centres on one core idea: resilience is no longer about prevention it’s about preparedness, adaptability, and the ability to recover with certainty when it matters most.
