Fueling the Emerging Privacy Tech Industry

Friday, June 24, 2022 - 3:10 pm3:55 pm

Lourdes M. Turrecha, CEO & Founder, The Rise of Privacy Tech, and Nishant Bhajaria, Director of Privacy Engineering & Architecture, Uber

Abstract: 

In this panel, Lourdes M. Turrecha and Nishant Bhajaria will present on the foundational TROPT Defining the Privacy Tech Landscape Whitepaper 2021, which defines and categorizes the emerging privacy tech industry. In addition to defining each category they've identified, they go over the customer persona(s), basic features, and current limitations of available solutions. They help privacy tech buyer-users articulate their technical privacy pain points, coach them to advocate internally for the privacy tech budget they need and deserve, and teach them how to identify available privacy tech solutions to their biggest technical privacy problems. This panel helps privacy technologists, privacy engineers, and other privacy domain experts to find privacy tech opportunities, from landing privacy tech advisory, consulting, and in-house roles, to cofounding a privacy tech startup and even Angel investing in them.
