- Privacy fluency: You have practical experience with privacy and data protection in software businesses, including negotiating DPAs and advising on how data can be processed and used across jurisdictions (including US, UK, and EU/EEA)
- Commercial judgment: You make clear recommendations, distinguish material risks from negotiating preferences, and know when to hold a position, find an alternative, or involve the business or outside counsel
