Emily Georgiades
@emilygeorgiades
International privacy and corporate counsel specializing in AI, data protection, and cross-border regulatory compliance.
What I'm looking for
I am an international lawyer licensed in New York, England & Wales, and the European Union with 19 years of experience advising law firms and technology companies on corporate, commercial, GenAI and international data privacy matters. I lead privacy, regulatory and GenAI initiatives, manage incident response and DSARs, draft and negotiate DPAs, BAAs, MSAs and commercial contracts, and advise C-suite and cross-functional teams on compliance with GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA and other evolving regulations.
My work includes project-managing acquisitions and financings, contributing to successful SOC2/ISO27001 audits, and guiding global scaling through privacy-by-design, vendor management and data governance frameworks. I combine technical privacy certification (CIPP-E), hands-on corporate counsel experience, and leadership in policy development to deliver pragmatic, business-focused legal solutions.
