Ms Patricia Del Carmen

Board Member
EUDC

Patricia DEL CARMEN is a Franco-Salvadorean Lawyer in Digital Law, CIPP/E certified and a Computational Linguistic Engineer, experienced in data protection, data privacy and cybersecurity. 

After having worked for more than 30 years with global business leaders in their sector (LVMH, Sephora, American Express, Axa, Alstom, Merck…) as a senior manager of complex digital projects  for which Data security and protection were crucial, Patricia decided to create her own consulting firm, Smart Privacy Consulting, and become an external DPO to help NGOs, public bodies and private companies to optimize the knowledge and quality of their data, to ensure the compliance and security of their information assets and to increase the trust of their internal and external customers and the regional and local citizens. 

Pragmatism, a good understanding of the business challenges of data protection and security as well as a long successful experience in change management, data governance and staff training and awareness of data protection and cybersecurity issues are the values that characterize her DPO role. 

Patricia has organized panel discussions at the Sorbonne about “The role of the DPO in public and private organizations”. She has lectured at Telecom Business School in Paris and at the University of Lima, Peru about “International transfers of Personal Data”, "Data Protection, a Further Step Towards Transparency and Respect for Human Rights" and about “GDPR and Cybersecurity”. She is engaged in various teachings and research assignments related to Data Protection, cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence at the Master in Digital Law at the Sorbonne in Paris. 

A former member of the Board of the European Association of Data Privacy Professionals (EADPP), she is currently a member of the Board of the European Data Compliance Network (EUDC), a network open to all the Compliance Professionals which share the European values in data governance, risk management and compliance in Digital matters. EUDCN and Patricia think that a DPO always needs to be aware of the evolution and development of the technology and law and that  international cooperation is really important.
