I'm the director of a privacy consultancy and former privacy lawyer with 15+ years of International (NZ, Australia, the UK, EU and the US) cross-sector expertise spanning legal, banking, telecoms, tech, and government. I transform complex privacy regulations into practical, business-focused compliance solutions that align with your commercial objectives. My experience encompasses the most sensitive privacy challenges imaginable, from litigation involving global counter-terrorism operations to representing key stakeholders in landmark UK Public Inquiries (Leveson phone-hacking, Pitchford​/​Mitting undercover policing). This high-stakes background is complemented by extensive commercial experience supporting businesses at every growth stage: from rapidly scaling startups going through investment due diligence, to heavily regulated banking and telecoms providers across APAC, to central government departments under regulatory scrutiny. I provide comprehensive privacy program development and operational support, working seamlessly with cross-functional teams, C-suite executives, and regulators including the UK ICO and NZ OPC. I'm available for white-label services to professional consultancies or as ad hoc or fractional DPO support for existing privacy teams requiring additional capacity. I'm particularly interested in helping NZ and Australian businesses with global services meet their GDPR and international privacy obligations, with solutions tailored to specific risk tolerance and business needs.
