What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation in privacy compliance and offers opportunities for leadership and mentorship.

I am a strategic, data-driven privacy and compliance leader with over 12 years of progressive experience in healthcare, research, and regulatory environments. My expertise lies in operationalizing scalable privacy architecture and advising on regulatory and product risks. I have successfully built and scaled global privacy programs across digital health, clinical research, and surgical robotics ecosystems, translating complex legal frameworks into sustainable controls that have enterprise-wide impact.

Throughout my career, I have led global privacy operations initiatives, developed structured regulatory frameworks, and implemented data sensitivity classification models. I have a proven track record of driving strategic initiatives that advance localization, cross-border data transfer compliance, and regulatory readiness for emerging frameworks. My leadership in privacy architecture and incident response has significantly reduced response times and improved compliance culture across diverse teams and global stakeholders.
