Privacy and compliance leader driving program maturity, risk reduction, and operational efficiency.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a privacy and compliance leader with an MBA and CIPP/US certification, experienced building global privacy programs and improving organizational privacy maturity.
At Emerald X I created a global privacy program using the NIST privacy framework, implemented a DPIA process with 60+ assessments, mapped 80+ data assets to create a RoPA, and redesigned consent and DSR processes to accelerate response times and reduce regulatory risk.
At Ford Direct I led Privacy by Design adoption, supplier audits identifying critical findings, and a privacy champions program that embedded privacy across the organization—delivering measurable reductions in privacy risk and DSR turnaround times.
I combine program-level strategy, cross-functional leadership, and hands-on implementation using tools like OneTrust and WireWheel to deliver compliance, audit readiness, and streamlined privacy operations.
