Palo Alto Networks

Director, Privacy EMEA

Nathalie is the Director for Privacy for the EMEA region at Palo Alto Networks, a global cybersecurity leader, and a Certified Information Privacy Professional/Europe (CIPP/E) from the IAPP. Her role is to transform privacy into a powerful trust enabler, empowering customers to confidently embrace cybersecurity solutions. In this pivotal role, she works closely with sales teams and customers, leading contractual negotiations and serving as the primary point of contact for all privacy and data matters. Her expertise involves explaining Palo Alto Networks' adherence to critical regulations such as the AI Act, Data Act, GDPR, and NIS2, and assisting customers in navigating their own complex regulatory requirements.
