Making privacy and data governance work in the real world—where cybersecurity, compliance, and execution meet. -Managing Partner Privacy & Client Solutions @Flodisq

About

I help organisations make privacy and data governance workable in the real world: clear risk decisions, practical controls, and evidence that holds up when customers and regulators ask questions. My work sits at the intersection of privacy, cybersecurity and execution. As a Data Protection Officer and Client Partner, I support organisations with GDPR and broader data protection requirements through risk assessment, DPIAs, data governance strategy, and acting as a liaison with supervisory authorities. I focus on business-oriented solutions that strengthen trust without creating bureaucracy. At Flodisq, I am Managing Partner for Privacy and Partner Solutions. We partner with regulated organisations to move from scattered compliance activity to owned governance. That means clarifying accountability, making decision rights explicit, and keeping evidence current between audits and organisational change through a live executive cockpit. When specialist execution or point tools are needed, we orchestrate trusted options with clear scope and evidence handoffs captured in the cockpit. I am a fit when privacy is stuck between legal theory and operational reality, or when leadership needs a coherent way to own privacy risk, prove what is in place, and keep it current.

  • Managing Partner Privacy & Partner Solutions at FLODISQ
    Jan 2026 - Present · 6 mos

    Managing Partner at Flodisq, accountable for privacy governance and partner solutions, including partner coordination where privacy and people practices intersect. I focus on practical, business-oriented privacy governance: DPIAs, risk assessment, data governance, and turning regulatory requirements into clear ownership, routines and evidence that stand up under scrutiny. I also help companies access the right specialist support when execution capacity is scarce, and ensure scope, accountability and evidence handoffs are explicit. Flodisq is a boutique, executive-led security and governance partner for regulated organisations. We combine senior expertise across cybersecurity, privacy, and operating alignment with a proprietary platform that turns conversations and evidence into a live executive cockpit. Delivery is partner-led from day one: we establish an executive risk and compliance baseline, make decision rights and ownership explicit, and start remediation. The cockpit then keeps decisions, actions, and audit-ready evidence current between audits, organisational change, and incidents. When specialist execution or point tools are needed, we curate and orchestrate trusted specialists and fit-for-purpose tools with clear scope, owners, and evidence handoffs captured in the cockpit.
