At Robinhood, I operated as a business-enabling expert for data protection in a fast-paced, product-driven fintech environment. I frequently advised business owners and senior leaders on the operationalization of privacy requirements for anticipated products, vendors, international expansions, security initiatives, AI adoption, and marketing campaigns. As a part of this, I owned the enterprise’s privacy-by-design program, inclusive of use case assessments, training new privacy-by-design reviewers, SLA and process improvements, and tooling enhancement strategies. On the commercial side, I negotiated data protection terms in vendor contracts and educated commercial counsels on requisite privacy terms. I fostered collaborative relationships with cross-functional partners across the organization (e.g., engineering, security, marketing, and AI teams) and established buy-in with critical stakeholders. While working with stakeholders, I translated complex privacy issues related to GLBA, GDPR, CCPA (and other state laws), PDPA, and EU AI Act into actionable legal advice for audiences with varying levels of seniority and privacy law awareness.I led multiple international employment expansions with a focus on local monitoring rights and obligations, navigated privacy risks introduced by competing laws, addressed privacy notice and transparency requirements, and advised employment counsel on issues at the intersection of privacy and employment law.In addition to my employment and commercial crossfunctional work, I coached international expansion and product teams on the legal landscape and privacy requirements for new markets and monitored privacy legislation and developments in multiple markets.
