Given his background he still follows HR with a GDPR focus.

David has no specific preference of sector and worked therefore for privacy, public companies, ..focusses on HR, Telecom, Health care, Engery sector as a DPO, and sometimes as a privacy professional.

As a senior mentor David guides new privacy professionals during their first steps as a DPO and works together with young privacy professionals on different projects, guiding them with practical and pragmatic advise.

To conclude: “A good DPO is a trusted advisor, someone who’s business minded, works good on his PR, and makes sure he/she is not perceived as a “show stopper”, but someone who really goes forward with the business/company.”
