Background

About James Oneill

As a pragmatic privacy professional, I help organisations navigate and comply with global privacy requirements in a way that is both business-effective and sustainable. With extensive experience in defining, designing, and implementing privacy programmes across complex, multi-jurisdictional operations, I specialise in delivering solutions tailored to each organisation’s unique needs. My work covers a broad spectrum of privacy activities, including stakeholder mapping, privacy governance, and the development of bespoke privacy policies and procedures. I have experience conducting in-depth Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs), supporting both processors whose business revolves around product sales, and controllers utilising data to advance their own purposes. I focus on building trust and fostering strong relationships with stakeholders while using a sense of humour to ease the more technical and dry aspects of compliance. This approach helps bridge the gap between legal requirements and practical business realities, ensuring that privacy programmes not only meet regulatory standards but also align with operational goals.
