Bio

Maria is a very talented professional. Not only is she an expert in the field of privacy, but she is able to give advice on various legal matters. We worked together for almost a year and I cannot stress how much I admired the qualities Maria has such as an eye for detail, strong work ethics, the ability to express and support her own opinion and arguments. I saw Maria handling a large client portfolio in the most professional way while holding the position of Junior Privacy Officer together with other internal tasks. Furthermore, Maria is always friendly and fun to work with and most importantly, she is able to coordinate actions and support colleagues from other departments in the most efficient way.
