Back to original languageAbout Federica
As a Data Protection Officer for international groups and fast-growing fintechs, I have led GDPR compliance programs for over 10 years within complex organizations, present in several countries and operational divisions.
Formerly Head of Data Protection and Group DPO, I led the implementation of comprehensive governance frameworks, strengthened data-related risk management, and restructured internal processes to integrate data protection across all departments: legal, IT, security, product, HR, and management.
Today, I work as an independent consultant / outsourced DPO to support companies in building sustainable, operational compliance systems aligned with their business objectives.
My approach is pragmatic, business-oriented, and focused on creating a responsible, effective data culture adapted to operational realities.
