Helping global organizations navigate privacy, cybersecurity, and AI obligations with structure and reasonable risk mitigation — turning chaos into a confident “yes.”
Legal shouldn't be the department of “no.” My work is built around moving stakeholders deliberately from an identified risk toward a defensible, business-enabling outcome with the documentation and controls to back it up.
Pinpoint the legal, regulatory, and contractual exposure across privacy, cybersecurity, and AI.
Translate obligations into plain language so business owners understand what's actually at stake.
Align legal, design, product, and cybersecurity around a shared, cross-functional plan.
Stand up pragmatic processes, documentation, and technology that make the path repeatable.
A defensible decision that reduces risk while letting the business move forward.
Six core practice areas, refined across in-house counsel, federal advisory, and consulting engagements for global organizations.
Leading enterprise-wide compliance with a fast-moving global landscape.
Drafting and negotiating complex client, vendor, and data-provider agreements, including DPAs, cybersecurity addendums, and SaaS / DaaS contracts that mitigate risk.
Executing DPIAs, PIAs, TIAs, and AI assessments, then mapping right-sized mitigation to recognized industry standards and audit-ready documentation.
Serving as primary privacy, cybersecurity, and AI authority for engineering, product, and marketing. Building standards into the design and development, not bolting them on after.
Building governance frameworks for sensitive assets — PII, PHI, PCI — and operationalizing rights requests with enabling privacy technology.
Operationalizing compliance through policies, playbooks, and role-based training — and maturing privacy functions while managing outside counsel cost-effectively.
From a federal nuclear-security policy team to senior in-house privacy counsel — a progression toward broader programs and higher-stakes decisions.
