Summary

Which company doesn’t wish for simply doing business without any surprises? And yet, many companies are the victims of intentional or unintentional compliance or security violations.

As an expert in preventing compliance breaches of internal or external origin, I have been helping companies for many years with identifying their risks, taking adequate measures and investigating any suspicious activities.

I am a commercial lawyer (LL.M.), with a background in educational research and now almost 20 years of experience in the wider compliance industry. Many of these years I spent in senior roles at renowned global auditing and consulting firms. Until, in 2016, I started out as an entrepreneur as one of the founders of Two Towers Consulting and Legal.

Since establishing Two Towers in 2016, my main fields of activity are general compliance and data protection, including information security. I am an analyser and auditor, an optimizer and developer, an investigator and trainer. I ‘do’ letters, numbers, tech and AI and I offer this my generalist expertise as a project consultant or manager as well as an external compliance or data protection officer.

As an information security auditor and data protection officer I had the opportunity to familiarise myself with many a business tool, from the widely popular ones, such as SAP, Salesforce, MS 365, DocuSign, Cleverreach, Google Ads etc., to the more specialised ones, e.g. Roadmunk, Frontify or DISPONENTgo.

Furthermore, as an active member of the relevant professional associations, I regularly network with my peers and publish, train and lecture on my areas of expertise and passion.
