A strong background in Accounting/Finance with an interest in regulatory compliance led me down a path to put away my calculator and explore opportunities supporting the legal side of business. Joining our Legal Dept. in 2011, I had an incredibly fulfilling decade of building up and leading the Ethics & Compliance team. With the recent passing of various state consumer privacy legislation throughout the ADUSA retail market, an opportunity arose to help the organization build a program to support and comply with consumer rights on privacy and transparency. In this new role, I am tasked with establishing and supporting a comprehensive privacy compliance management program, monitoring and interpreting privacy-related legislation, increasing awareness as regulations are passed, advising business partners across the U.S. Companies, and implementing controls to mitigate risk and support business goals. This includes providing privacy guidance and training to all the U.S. Companies, which include the retail brands Stop & Shop, GIANT/MARTIN's, Giant Food, Food Lion and Hannaford's Supermarkets. My work history has provided me the opportunity to continuously grow and expand my knowledge leading to quite an enriching journey!
