Briefly describe your role and how long you've been at RedCloud.
I recently rejoined RedCloud after five years away. My role is really two-fold: to develop and mature the Privacy and Security practice at RedCloud, develop strategies and recommendations on organizational processes and operational improvements, and to develop content and privacy guidance for a Fortune 500 technology company.
What was it like to join RedCloud (onboarding process)?
The onboarding process at RedCloud is very lightweight and streamlined. Everyone is very prompt to make the whole experience very pleasant.
Given your background and other experiences, what stands out to you with RedCloud?
Trust, Integrity, and Culture - I could not find anywhere else in my twenty years of career in the industry.
Where do you see the future of consulting or the future of RedCloud?
Tremendous growth and success - RedCloud is not only dedicated to its clients but also to its employees.
Tell us a bit about the importance of the Privacy and Security practice and why clients seek these solutions.
A privacy program is pivotal to an organization's success regardless of size. It helps to protect customers' personal data, ensures compliance with laws and regulations, minimizes the risks of data breaches, and ensures ethical use of data. If not done right, organizations are at risk of financial fines, government enforcement, loss of reputation, and customer trust. RedCloud’s Privacy and Security practice enables organizations to ensure that their data is secure and compliant with relevant regulations while also protecting their customers' privacy.
Name one piece of technology you couldn’t live without and why?

Developing and maturing RedCloud’s Privacy and Security practice and building trust relationships along the way.
