About David

Strategic privacy consultant delivering governance frameworks across 55+ jurisdictions. Currently in process of qualifying as a solicitor in England and Wales. I specialise in modular compliance assets—structured for audit-grade defensibility and scalable deployment across a range of environments.

My work spans privacy remediation, cross-border risk logic, and regulatory overlays involving AI, ethics, and profiling safeguards. Clients engage me to translate complex obligations into operational clarity—supporting legal defensibility, stakeholder alignment, and programme maturity uplift.
