About Abigail Coates

Freedom of Information and Data Protection Officer by day, privacy superhero by night! 🦸‍ In my role at the publicly-owned London North East Railway, I'm the maestro conducting the orchestra of data protection practices. I work hand-in-hand with teams across the organisation, fostering a culture where privacy risk management is as common as a cup of tea. My day-to-day involves rubbing shoulders with digital innovation teams, ensuring we're all singing from the same hymn sheet when it comes to compliance with legislation. I'm the go-to guru for regulatory advice on data protection legislation, adept at translating legalese into plain English. Who said legal jargon can't be fun? I wear my expertise in data protection laws and regulations like a badge of honour, providing guidance and support to keep our organisation on the straight and narrow. I'm not afraid to challenge the status quo and continually seek ways to improve our data protection practices. Navigating the labyrinth of data protection laws and regulations is no easy feat, but I've mastered the art of turning complex legal concepts into practical, business-friendly solutions. So, if you're looking for someone who can make data protection as thrilling as a James Bond movie, look no further!
