Leila Golchehreh

Leila is an entrepreneur and data protection attorney with extensive international experience who spent much of her career building data protection programs for diverse clients, including in private practice, as well as for Workday, Adaptive Insights, and other global organizations. When given the herculean task of preparing decades’ old companies for the GDPR in 3-5 months, she demoed every privacy tech tool on the market. She only found workflow solutions—no tools deeply embedded into the technical stacks at organizations. Leila needed transparency into data processing, with the understanding that to truly build an effective data protection program, all organizations need a foundational, real-time understanding of data flows to evaluate data processing internally and throughout the vendor supply chain. Leila’s extensive experience and passion for privacy drove her to reimagine what data protection means in a globalized, technology-driven world. Building a foundational data inventory and map through better technology became her vision for a privacy and data governance company.
