Lourdes M. Turrecha

CEO & Founder at PIX LLC

San Francisco, United States

Privacy tech founder and a reformed lawyer with cross-functional experience in the legal, policy, privacy, security, and technology fields.

Passionate about advising company leaders on their privacy and security obligations across different industries and jurisdictions, helping them set trustworthy privacy strategy, and offering practical and innovative solutions to their privacy woes.

Firm believer in balancing legal rules with business considerations and a strong advocate for legal solutions that promote the clients’ brand reputation and competitive advantage in their industries.

Love ethically building something from nothing.

Privacy is about empowering individuals to exercise control over their data. Not about secrecy (a common myth), or security (which is different, although equally important).

Published by various outlets including VentureBeat, ITSPmagazine, ACC Docket, IAPP, The Counselor Chronicles, and Lexology.

Fellow of Information Privacy (FIP), Certified Information Privacy Technologist (CIPT), Certified Information Privacy Manager (CIPM), Certified Information Privacy Professional - United States (CIPP-US), Certified Information Privacy Professional - Europe (CIPP-EU).
