My name is Roland Costea and I am working as Chief Security Officer at SAP .
Before that i have spent years working for Microsoft, IBM, Genpact, Cognizant or Accenture as a Privacy & Security Director being able to create hundreds of integrated security & privacy programmes for top organizations in the world and I have decided to put all my experience together in a single comprehensive course, to show how to actually make Data Privacy operational and most importantly how to think out of the box.
I have been involved in engineering privacy for a lot of industries including Automotive (Mercedes-Benz, Geely, Volvo) and also provided DPO as a service for several other top companies in Europe and US.
I have worked and developed the privacy strategy for Microsoft & IBM for the whole Central & Eastern Europe and also drived Cognizant Security & Privacy business in DACH.
What I currently still see, is a lot of people coming with the law background that focus only on learning GDPR regulation, how to apply it, what are the tricks in there, but without being open to have a technology mindset or learn what are the challenges in technology so that they can easily or better deal with these teams. Viceversa is also there, in lower percentages, when people with technology mindsets, come and develop more regulatory skillsets in order to complement or better suit their day by day job.
All these skills, should represent the privacy expert, specialist or leader of TODAY and this is what i am teaching at Defradar. How to become the greatest version of yourself that every company will battle for when they want to hire in Privacy and/or Cybersecurity.
Are you ready for this transformational journey?
