Privacidad, gobernanza de la IA y tecnología responsable — en la práctica.

I’ve had the opportunity to work with Valentina and learn from her in several areas, particularly in the field of AI Governance, including generative AI risks. What I appreciate most is her ability to be a trusted source of ongoing knowledge and support, as well as her willingness to share her expertise with us through the theoretical and practical sessions she has led.

She is amazing at explaining complex and technical topics in a clear, structured, and accessible way, using everyday examples and analogies to facilitate understanding of the AI Act requirements and support knowledge transfer.

She has always remained open to sharing her knowledge, discussing different perspectives, and focusing on finding the right way forward, regardless of the risk or challenge at hand. Kudos!

I enjoyed working with Valentina and appreciated her straightforward approach. In her coordinating role in Third Party Management, she worked with stakeholders across different teams and countries, and I admired her ability to navigate challenging discussions while managing multiple priorities with a clear and structured approach.

She has a strong presence and knows when to be firm and when to find the right balance. I also appreciated her curiosity and willingness to learn and develop. Even with a busy workload, she was always interested in new regulatory developments and projects, eager to understand more and expand her knowledge.

I highly recommend Valentina as an outstanding Privacy and AI Governance professional. Their expertise in GDPR, data protection, and the evolving AI regulatory landscape, combined with a great understanding of the corporate world, enables them to provide practical, risk-based guidance while supporting innovation and business objectives.

Valentina combines strong regulatory knowledge with excellent communication and collaboration skills. They are a trusted advisor who consistently delivers high-quality results, and I would confidently recommend them to any organization looking for an expert in privacy and AI governance.

I have the chance to work closely with Valentina in a financial-services environment, collaborating on several key data protection topics. During my time as Local Stream Lead for LIAs & DPIAs, she consistently stood out through her efficiency, reliability, and the quality of her work. Thanks to her involvement, we were able to prepare documentation with business owners much faster, without compromising the depth or accuracy needed for complex privacy assessments.

Valentina has contributed as well to some of the most relevant and increasingly technical governance areas. She played a key role in a global privacy-management platform implementation, where she helped connect privacy requirements with the technical and operational design of the platform. Beyond privacy, she also led the local implementation of the AI Act requirements within the organisation, guiding business teams through the full lifecycle, risk evaluation, and compliance of all AI systems. One of her greatest strengths is her ability to understand complex technical systems and translate those technical realities into clear, meaningful compliance requirements. Her technical insight is exceptionally strong and genuinely sets her apart from other professionals working in AI, privacy, and data protection.

Since early 2026, Valentina has stepped into the role of Global Stream Lead for Third Party Data Protection at group level, where she has made a clear and meaningful impact. In this capacity, she has provided me with highly valuable support, offering clear direction, practical guidance, and well reasoned advice that consistently moved work forward. She built a robust and comprehensive framework for this stream, strengthening the way we approach third party risk and compliance.

I have been working with Valentina since the beginning of 2026 as my main counterpart in scaling Data Protection Third-Party Management (TPM) processes globally.

Working with Valentina has been an absolute pleasure. She brings a strong blend of responsiveness, commitment, and deep expertise to every topic we collaborate on.

What I appreciate most is that she isn’t afraid to ask thoughtful questions and constructively challenge ideas, always keeping her focus on finding the right way forward in a collaborative manner.

Thank you Valentina for being such a trusted, engaged, and reliable colleague!
