Neha Parekh
Global Data Protection & Privacy Attorney/Founder
I help companies build the infrastructure required to use data boldly, without creating tomorrow’s headlines.
After more than twenty years leading privacy, AI governance, and cybersecurity programs within global organizations, I’ve learned a fundamental truth: Speed comes from clarity. When teams understand the boundaries, products launch faster, deals close smoother, and leadership can operate with confidence.
Bridging Law, Data, and Technology
My role is not to block progress; it is to create repeatable, defensible paths to "yes." I work at the intersection of complex legal requirements and operational reality, translating technical challenges into manageable business risk.
My career began in litigation, where I learned how narratives collapse, how small decisions become large systemic failures, and how reputational damage unfolds. That background informs every program I design today. I have built global privacy functions from the ground-up many times, including in hyper-growth, pre- and post-IPO environments.
My Core Focus
I partner directly with product teams, security engineers, GTM leaders, and other key stakeholders to:
Embed Governance: Weaving privacy and AI oversight directly into the product development lifecycle.
Build for Scale: Creating programs that mature as your company expands across jurisdictions.
Translate Complexity: Turning technical reality into clear, actionable business strategy.
Enable Growth: Managing complex data relationships and preparing for regulatory scrutiny before it arrives.
