About the IAPP

Katharina joined the Coca-Cola System in 2011 and serves as Senior Director – Legal Counsel, Privacy for EMEA and Global HR matters.

Katharina is a seasoned privacy leader with over 15 years of professional experience. She began her career in private practice, moved from there to a German Association and then pursued a career as an in-house lawyer. Early in her in-house-career, she was heading Coca Cola’s group privacy in Germany (2013-beginning 2017) where she built a scalable privacy program, including considerations of the ongoing developments of cross-border-transfer mechanisms. From there, she took over the EU privacy lead while implementing GDPR and subsequently broadened her scope to the EMEA region and the support of global functions. She is passionate about disruptive technologies, people development and the support of the implementation of new legislations (globally, such as currently in India) to develop a true global view.
