THOUGHTS ON LINKEDIN (AND OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA) ARE MY OWN. A Professional with deep experience in Cyber, Security, Privacy, Emerging Technologies, AI, Litigation, Risk, Compliance, E-Discovery, and Knowledge Management. Celebrating more than 30 years as a (continuous) Member-in-Good-Standing of the Virginia State Bar, Tina uses a legal mindset to approach business problems and a business mindset to approach legal problems. Her travel to 30 countries (achieved more than 20 years ago) gives her the global context to strategize and create integrated, holistic, international solutions. She works cross-functionally, as well as cross-culturally. She, having experienced a wide variety of leadership challenges/styles, is discreet, cautious, trusted, tenacious, and always curious. She brings leadership, enthusiasm, and energy to all her roles. Her work in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion over the last decades is not performative. She seeks out (other) true leaders who value honor, trust, respect, and integrity as tenets to live by. Her German genes make her communications style direct; her work product meticulous; and her quality standards for people, processes, and technology exceed expectations. Her Cypriot genes make her work style hospitable (sharing generously in her knowledge, networks and know-how); her approach to solutions Meze style (varied and distinct); and her outlook sunny. #Leadership #Integrity #SocialCapital #Communication #Trust #Innovation #TechnologyInnovation #RegulatoryCompliance #Reputation #Brand #CyberExpertise #ChangeAgent #Collaboration #InterDisciplinary #MultiFunctional #Multinational #GlobalSupplyChain #EnterpriseRiskManagement #ModelPerformance #ContinuousImprovement #PeopleProcessTechnology #SocialMedia #EthicalLeadership #Empathy #Influencer #Mentor #Sponsor #IntellectualCuriosity #Partnering #EthicsByDesign #SecurityByDesign #PrivacyByDesign #LifelongLearner #CyberExecutive #GeneralCounsel #InfoGov #CyberEvangelist #5G #IoT #AI #CyberRiskManagement #EmergingTechnology #ModelMaintenance #AIAddendum #ArtificialIntelligence #IntelligentAutomation #AlgorithmicAccountability #AIGovernance #Privacy #InformationWarfare #InfluenceOperations #RuleOfLaw #Cooperation #Robotics #InternetOfThings #VirtualReality #AugmentedReality #InternetGovernance #TrainingData #CyberAI #AILaw #LLMs #Developer #Deployer #AIFeatures #QuantumComputing #InternetOfBehaviors #ActionableAnalytics #ContinuousLearner #MachineLearning #Agile #Iterative #RPA #ZeroTrust #DevOps #ServantLeader #TrustedAdvisor #TrustedPartner #NthPartyRiskManagement
