As the Director of Product Management & Marketing at Exterro, I lead the development, marketing, and commercialization of innovative privacy and data governance solutions. With a focus on automating compliance and minimizing data risk, I oversee products like data discovery, RoPA/data mapping, assessments manager, data retention, data subjects rights, and consent management, helping businesses navigate the complex regulatory landscape.

I’m passionate about bridging the gap between technical innovation and legal compliance. My journey from privacy lawyer and consultant to product leader has been driven by a desire to create tools that solve real-world challenges. With certifications such as CIPM, CIPP/C, and a Fellow of Information Privacy (FIP), I bring a comprehensive understanding of both the legal and technical aspects of data privacy. In addition, I have completed product management certifications, such as from the Pragmatic Institute, which has sharpened my skills in building and launching innovative products.

Having led privacy programs for large enterprises at EY and KPMG, I transitioned into product roles where I could shape privacy technology from the ground up. Whether it’s through building tools or hosting thought leadership platforms like the 'Privacy Tech Talk' podcast, my mission is to drive impactful, scalable solutions that address today’s most pressing data challenges.
