What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my data privacy expertise while contributing to a company's strategic objectives and fostering a culture of compliance.

I am a seasoned data privacy attorney with nine years of experience navigating complex privacy laws and regulations across multiple jurisdictions. My expertise lies in advising multinational corporations on data protection strategies, compliance, and risk mitigation, including significant experience with GDPR, CCPA, and other global frameworks. I have a proven track record in both big law and in-house environments, showcasing strong negotiation, litigation, and policy development skills.

Currently, as Senior Legal Counsel for Data Privacy and Digital Operations at Abercrombie & Fitch, I provide strategic direction for the development and management of the company’s global privacy program. I collaborate across the organization to deliver practical, business-focused legal guidance and develop comprehensive training on privacy-related matters. My previous roles at J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. and Squire Patton Boggs have further honed my skills in advising clients on data governance and cybersecurity, ensuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
