Beschreibung

I help organizations turn privacy and compliance into a competitive advantage — not just a legal obligation.

With 13+ years of experience across insurance, digital health, retail, and financial services, I provide senior-level expertise in data protection, GDPR, AML/KYC, and corporate compliance to organizations operating in complex, multi-jurisdictional environments.

I currently serve as Legal Expert to the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) on emerging technologies and AI — a role that keeps me at the forefront of regulatory developments before they become obligations for your business.

What I can help you with:

Fractional DPO services (GDPR-compliant, multi-jurisdiction)

Privacy program design and implementation

AI governance and EU AI Act readiness

AML/KYC framework development and gap analysis

Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA)

Compliance program build-out (ABC, sanctions, conflicts of interest)

Regulatory engagement and data breach response

Board-level advisory and compliance training

Who I work with: Scale-ups and multinationals in fintech, digital health, insurance, and regulated industries — particularly those expanding into Europe or navigating Swiss and EU regulatory frameworks.

Based in Zurich. Available for remote, hybrid, or on-site engagements across Switzerland and Europe.
