I’d like to announce that I’m looking for a new role. Much of what I what I do is being a foundational builder of the privacy engineering field and leading teams so companies build products and infrastructure which are respectful of privacy, security, and anti-abuse.
Respected voice on these topics in the technical, civil society, and government communities. I did this as the Global Lead of Privacy Technology at Google and then as the Chief Privacy Officer of Humu. https://gizmodo.com/meet-the-woman-who-leads-nightwatch-google-s-internal-1825227132
I built Google's 95-person product privacy organization and was overall technical lead for privacy at Google, including everything from infrastructure to UX. Ran the largest privacy engineering training program in the world. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/sheerafrenkel/google-has-a-secret-team-making-sure-its-products-are-safe
I’m an expert in privacy regulation, including leading most of the engineering side of Google's GDPR readiness effort and personally reviewing virtually every product at Google and Alphabet.
I designed quite a bit of Google's privacy and security infrastructure, including Zanzibar (the global authorization system). Built a fair bit of it, too.
I’ve done incident response for high profile security and privacy incidents, including nation-state-driven incidents. I’m not posting details on Twitter.
I founded (with Prof. Lorrie Cranor of Carnegie Mellon) USENIX PEPR, the first conference for privacy engineering in practice. A member of the Advisory Board of the IAPP Privacy Engineering Section, Program Co-Chair of USENIX @enigmaconf 2021, and an organizer of @OURSAConference

I want to work with great people. Think your company would be a great match or know someone who would? Reply or drop me a DM. I'd love to hear from you.
If you're curious why I'm looking for a new role: pandemic. It's not a good time for startups. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-04-02/humu-a-startup-run-by-former-google-hr-boss-cuts-jobs
