Privacy & Data Security Senior Associate

Irene Mo is an attorney with experience counseling clients on United States and international privacy and data protection laws and regulations. She is skilled in distilling complex legal issues into practical and actionable legal guidance. She has helped companies of all sizes, from early-stage startups to Fortune 500, build and scale their privacy and data security compliance programs.

Prior to joining Enlightened Privacy, PC, Irene worked at Hintze Law and Aleada Consulting to establish her niche in privacy and data security. Known as a problem solver, Irene’s clients trust her to collaborate across multiple business units within their companies to get privacy done. When there is a Hail Mary pass, her clients know she’s the one getting the ball across the goal line.

Irene’s approach to compliance is centered on continuous, incremental improvements with value placed on people, processes, and then technology (in that order). She can quickly understand a client’s business, values, and priorities to effectively implement and operationalize compliance initiatives and to help move the needle on internal privacy and data security culture. Irene has shared her expertise at several national and international conferences including the RSA Conference, DEF CON, American Bar Association conferences, and International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP) conferences.
