At Equifax, I lead the strategy and execution of enterprise data protection, privacy governance, and regulatory compliance operations across global business units. I championed the enterprise implementation of Privacera, enabling enhanced data monitoring, tag classification, and policy enforcement—strengthening compliance posture and accelerating non-PDZ provisioning to support faster, easier access to data. I developed and facilitated cross-functional governance workshops that aligned teams on regulatory requirements and drove 25% optimization in synthetic data and PDZ strategies.
Through deep-dive compliance control assessments and requirements mapping, I’ve aligned global regulations (GDPR, CCPA, GLBA, FCRA) with business and technical capabilities. I launched a risk-based alerting framework and streamlined compliance reporting, delivering actionable insights to executive leadership and audit teams. These efforts contributed to over $1M in incremental cost savings through improved global PDZ operations. My role bridges regulatory rigor and operational execution—fostering shared accountability, scalable governance, and a privacy-forward data strategy.
