About Yassine
Certified Data Protection expert & AI Ethical Officer with 7+ years of experience in data privacy, IT project management, and compliance strategy. I help organizations design and implement robust privacy frameworks, assess risks, and ensure compliance with international data protection laws — including GDPR (EEA), DIFC/ADGM (UAE), PDPL (KSA), cross-border data transfers, and emerging AI governance & ethics regulations.
I’ve led complex privacy and AI governance programs across banking, automotive, public, and digital sectors, with hands-on experience in mergers & acquisitions, connected vehicles, AI Governance Professional (AIGP – IAPP) certification, and OneTrust implementation. I typically work as an external DPO, AI Ethical Officer, privacy advisor, or interim project manager — bridging legal, IT, and business stakeholders.
