Why I Joined Privado: In My Own Words

Hey there, folks! So, after my adventures at big tech giants like Google, Uber, and Meta, I’ve decided to shake things up a bit. I’m teaming up with Vaibhav Antil, Jasdeep Cheema, Prashant Mahajan, and the awesome crew at Privado to lead their Privacy Engineering Center of Excellence.

When it comes to making choices in life, whether personal or professional, I always consider two key things: replication and remedy.

Ideally, I aim for decisions that build on past successes while also addressing areas where improvement is needed. Over the years, I’ve tackled challenging situations at major corporations dealing with data privacy issues. These experiences have taught me valuable lessons and shaped my approach to privacy.

From learning the ropes at Netflix to transforming privacy practices at Uber and Meta, I’ve seen firsthand how prioritizing privacy can drive innovation and build trust. Now, I’m excited to guide the next wave of companies in getting privacy right from the start.

  • Why not empower companies to embed privacy into their operations from day one?
  • Why not create a platform that bridges the gap between engineers and legal/compliance teams?
  • Why not shift the focus towards proactive risk management in code development?

With my wealth of experience and insights, I’m ready to help companies optimize their privacy practices. My work, including online courses and my book “Data Privacy: A runbook for engineers,” has prepared me for this next chapter.

Privado is at the forefront of developing privacy solutions that enhance operational efficiency. By detecting and addressing risks early on, we aim to create a culture where privacy is a priority without sacrificing productivity.

At the Privacy Engineering Center of Excellence, Privado will collaborate with leaders to identify risks, devise strategies, and foster cross-functional alignment. Our goal is to empower companies to make informed decisions that align with their values and objectives.

Through code-scanning tools and collaborative partnerships, we strive to not only deliver tangible privacy benefits to our clients but also shape industry standards that prioritize data protection.

As we pave the way for the Privacy Engineering Center of Excellence, Privado has been hosting educational events and coaching sessions for privacy professionals. Our aim is to nurture a community of privacy advocates who advocate for automation and best practices.

Ultimately, Privado and I are in it for the long haul. We believe in fostering meaningful relationships and driving positive change in the privacy landscape.

On a personal note, I’m looking forward to the camaraderie and sense of belonging that comes with working at a smaller company like Privado. As the theme song from “Cheers” goes, it’s a place where everybody knows your name, and I couldn’t be more excited for what lies ahead.
