About the IAPP

Calli Schroeder is Global Privacy Counsel for The Electronic Privacy Information Center, working on global privacy and human rights issues. Her brief stint as a wedding singer led her to wonder if she had violated copyright law, an interest which transitioned to tech law broadly and privacy law specifically. Previous experience includes a Westin Fellowship with the IAPP, privacy work at law firms and compliance consulting companies, an internship for FTC Commissioner Julie Brill, speaking at conferences including DEFCON and IAPP's Privacy Security Risk conference, and various academic publications, podcasts, and regulatory comments. She currently focuses on international privacy updates, human rights, consumer protection issues, developing tech, artificial intelligence, surveillance, data breaches, and freaking people out at parties.

Originally from Whitefish, Montana, Calli holds a law degree from University of Colorado and an undergraduate degree in Peace Studies from Whitworth University. Outside of work, she enjoys traveling, music, and extensive debates about comic books.
