Her portfolio includes UK law firms, global marketing agencies as well as many UK and European start-ups and SMEs.

"I worked with many young businesses and they usually have two main concerns when it comes to investing in data protection - the cost and the worry that this investment might slow them down. So I saw an opportunity there - what if you had a consultancy functioning like an in-house team; they would come in, really understand your business and build everything with little disruption to the BAU - all for a quarter of what you would be paying an in-house team. I thought businesses would like that; so I founded Jazzy DPO."

Frequently asked questions

Why 'Jazzy'?

Data protection is a bit like jazz - you could say it doesn't follow a straight path. It has a set of general rules, but they apply differently to different situations and different organisations. So we thought 'jazzy' is a good analogy. But also because we're trying to add a bit of fun in all our processes and training sessions - make them as lively as possible. We don't want to be 'just another data protection consultancy'.
