Bio

I have extensive experience in data protection & cybersecurity, embedded compliance and white collar crimes. I also advise clients in pre-litigation matters and internal investigations, including cross-border ones.

I support companies in the assessment of legal risk and development and implementation of corporate compliance models, which includes analysing risks and structuring and validating the adequacy of compliance programmes based on applicable laws and national and international best practices, and also identifying lack of the internal control systems, identifying, recommending and implementing remedial actions. 

I advise clients on data protection matters and cybersecurity, including supporting the top management in defining the data governance and data strategy of the company. I provide counsel on responding to suspected security breaches and personal data disclosures to the Authorities.

I provide training in data protection and compliance matters, for board of directors’ members and corporations key management.

Over almost 20 years of experience, I have acquired material focus on IT crimes and national and international fraud, as well as national and international bribery and corruption.

I launched a women network and organized successful events on women leadership and inclusion of women in the top levels.
