Back to original languageAbout Anja
As an expert in governance, compliance, data protection, law, and project management, I support companies in transforming complex regulatory requirements into pragmatic, effective, and digital structures. I help organizations build up data protection (GDPR/DSGVO), internal control systems (ICS), risk management, business continuity management (BCM), and contract management efficiently, legally sound, and sustainably.
I combine legal expertise with a deep understanding of IT and processes, acting as a solution-oriented interface between business, IT, and law. This is how I translate complex requirements into clear, actionable steps and create governance structures that function operationally and provide added value.
I specialize in projects such as:
Implementation of revDSG/GDPR
Digitalization of ICS, Risk, BCM, and policy management
Introduction of GRC software (incl. contract, risk, and BCM modules)
Data protection in IT, cloud, and AI projects
Project forensics and legal project management
My added value: I bring structure, clarity, and legal certainty to complex projects – digital, pragmatic, and effective.
