The year 2024 kicked off with a resounding boom, marking the beginning of my exciting journey to Belgium in pursuit of my dreams. This vibrant city has introduced me to a host of exceptional professionals and even more remarkable individuals who I deeply admire. Moreover, the business school I have been collaborating with has entrusted me with the role of Head of AI for their master’s program. Consequently, I will be leading a series of subjects in this domain. Indeed, this year is shaping up to be one filled with new challenges and thrilling adventures!

I started 2023 joining the team of a Spanish NGO as Privacy Officer and this has been undoubtedly one of my best decisions because it has allowed me to use my knowledge to help those most in need and also to define the privacy strategy and the team from the beginning. I have also used the time to collaborate as a speaker in different talks and podcasts.

I joined my second multinational company, where I was able to put into practice everything I had learned so far and also continue learning about many other geographies and cultures, allowing me to be a professional with a broad global perspective. During this time I continued to spread the privacy principles through articles and also published two courses!

During this period I took on different challenges: I designed and implemented the global privacy strategy in my company, published my first privacy article and began the adventure of participating in the creation of a Privacy and Compliance Master, assuming the teaching of a complete subject with 7 teaching hours.

Life gave me the opportunity to work for a small period of time in my first multinational company. Here I learned both how to move at the corporate level and the art of business politics. I met great professionals and good friends to this day. In addition, the doors were opened to my first work experience as a university lecturer, my dream! Many things happened this year: I was Data Protection Officer for several banks and a university (a real adventure!), I traveled all over Spain and I had the opportunity to join a great project in an international consulting…

To support myself and be financially independent, I started my career in different banking projects. This allowed me to learn how to work in a team, meet deadlines and deal with large clients.
