What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead data protection and compliance programs, advise on EU regulatory changes, and implement risk-based, pragmatic solutions.

I am a data protection and compliance consultant with hands-on experience as an external Data Protection Officer for German and international clients across IT, energy, healthcare and banking sectors.

I develop compliance roadmaps and mitigation plans based on risk assessments, map and monitor legal and regulatory developments (including Data Act, NIS2, AI Act), and conduct audits with clear, actionable findings.

I have in-house and law firm experience drafting and negotiating DPAs and NDAs, conducting vendor risk management, delivering GDPR trainings, and supporting implementation of data protection measures.

My background includes an LL.M. in Competition and Regulatory Law, bar qualification, research in patent law economics, and practical legal experience drafting contracts, court pleadings, and corporate minutes; I focus on pragmatic, risk-based compliance solutions.
