Privacy and Data Protection Manager with a strong foundation in software development, cloud computing, and cyber security. I help organizations transform complex regulatory requirements into practical, measurable initiatives that build trust, ensure compliance, and drive business value. I lead enterprise-wide privacy programs, partnering with IT, product, legal, and executive teams to implement frameworks, policies, and controls that align with global privacy regulations(including GDPR, UK-DPA, CCPA), and industry best practices. My work spans privacy by design, governance councils, policy implementation, and automation, ensuring privacy and data protection are operationalized across the organization. I also have extensive experience in data governance, including metadata management, data lineage, stewardship models, and KPI-driven frameworks to improve data quality and accountability. My approach balances business needs with regulatory compliance, enabling organizations to innovate while maintaining trust. To me, privacy is a human right, and organizations that embrace it can turn compliance into a strategic differentiator. Recognized as an IAPP FIB Awardee, I hold CIPP/E, CIPM and CIPT certifications, demonstrating both technical and programmatic expertise in privacy. 🌐 Areas of focus: Privacy Program & Governance Leadership • Security and Privacy by Design • Privacy Engineering • SaaS & Cloud Privacy • Data Governance • Regulatory Compliance • Cross-functional Leadership - Feel free to send me a LinkedIn message regarding any questions or serious inquiries.
