Summary
Which company doesn’t want to do business without any surprises? And yet, many companies fall victim to intentional or unintentional compliance or security violations.
As an expert in preventing compliance breaches of internal or external origin, I have been helping companies for many years to identify their risks, take appropriate measures, and investigate suspicious activities.
I am a commercial lawyer (LL.M.) with a background in educational research and almost 20 years of experience in the broader compliance industry. I spent many of those years in senior roles at renowned global auditing and consulting firms. Then, in 2016, I became an entrepreneur as one of the founders of Two Towers Consulting and Legal.
Since establishing Two Towers in 2016, my main areas of activity have been general compliance and data protection, including information security. I am an analyst and auditor, an optimizer and developer, an investigator and trainer. I ‘do’ letters, numbers, tech and AI, and offer my broad expertise as a project consultant or manager, as well as an external compliance or data protection officer.
As an information security auditor and data protection officer, I have had the opportunity to become familiar with many business tools, from widely used ones such as SAP, Salesforce, MS 365, DocuSign, Cleverreach, Google Ads, etc., to more specialized ones, such as Roadmunk, Frontify or DISPONENTgo.
Furthermore, as an active member of relevant professional associations, I regularly network with my peers and publish, train, and lecture in my areas of expertise and passion.
