Esther Bliek is owner at Bliek Interim & Advies B.V. and provides organisations in the public and private sector in the Netherlands with advice on Privacy Compliance, Governance & Risk related issues.

 

After finishing her LL.M in 1994 Bliek started her career as a Management Consultant in the Public Domain. After having gained 15 years of experience within Local Governmental Organisations as a Change Manager Bliek broadened her horizon. She decided to choose for the Consultancy Business on the intersection of Business & IT resulting in a career as Privacy Expert with a strong preference for Privacy Engineering.

Bliek is an Expert in Privacy law, Privacy Program Management and Privacy Engineering. In 2020 Bliek followed a study Corporate Governance and Supervisory Board Membership at Nyenrode Business University. During this study she discovered the silo based approach of two high impact developments in the world today: GDPR Compliance, Governance & Risk and the Digital Transformation. Based on this insight Bliek, wrote a paper on the subject with the title "Is knowledge about Privacy Compliance, Governance & Risk essential for Good Governance?" and devoted herself to bringing a different sound in the approach of achieving GDPR compliance.



Bliek's approach makes it easier for Organisations to keep pace with the rapidly changing world without trade offs on the matter of GDPR Compliance, Governance & Risk. 



As long as Organisations do not embrace the idea that Data Protection and Privacy are more than an excuse to evade from making well balanced decisions or not more than an check box exercise to overcome, we are getting nowhere. In the tailor made training material Bliek develops for Organisations, the focus therefore has been shifted from GDPR Compliance, Governance & Risk to GDPR Compliance, Governance & Risk being a inextricable part of the Digital Transformation.
