Privacy and Tech: Is it time to freak out yet?

Podcast host and Tech Evangelist Dave Anderson recently spoke with PrivacyCode.ai CEO Michelle Finneran Dennedy about data strategies for entrepreneurs, including how to properly collect it, process it, and piece it all together.

In his own words, Dave says this episode is for:

…people that are interested in the in’s and outs of privacy from an expert that not only wrote the book on the topic, started the Chief privacy functions of some of the largest companies, but has gone out on a limb, to start her own company hell bent on educating people about privacy and ensuring the next generation of leaders get their privacy strategies, documented, ethically tested, and are sustainably sound. 

She makes Privacy sound cool. I really didn’t think that was possible.

Adam Levin: Michelle Dennedy Is the Most Interesting Person in the World

“Michelle Dennedy is to privacy what Einstein is to relativity but with the addition of rules that involve proper panty protocols. If there’s a new trend in identity-related criminal enterprise, she knows about it, has an opinion and can help guide you to a better place without getting got by it.”

We agree, Adam!
