Through hands-on engagement with data mapping, DPIAs, and data protection agreements, Preston understands the challenges that come with far-reaching regulatory frameworks. At the same time, he values the policy rationale of data privacy legislation, and the need for any organization to properly manage personal data. As a result, Preston works to provide practical guidance on operationalizing business risk and demonstrating an effective compliance program. PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE Before joining IT Governance in 2018, Preston worked in the Legal & Compliance group at Trimble Inc., an international GPS software company. There, he was responsible for analysing, adjusting, and implementing compliance regimes for corporate-wide mergers and acquisitions activities representing $50 million per financial quarter. Preston also led the company’s GDPR compliance project. In that capacity he served as both lawyer and consultant, advising business areas of their risk position relative to GDPR issues and guiding them through implementation of remediation actions. This involved managing data flow mapping for more than 250 distinct units engaged in businesses as varied as SaaS platforms, mobile geolocation apps, GPS/GNSS/telematics tools, fleet management software, construction hardware, and architectural/engineering design systems. As part of this effort, Preston created company guidelines and policies related to data privacy and protection for the company’s HR, IT, and Marketing departments while assisting business areas with their own GDPR compliance activities (e.g. data retention policies, data subject access request procedures, public privacy statements, etc.). Preston also reviewed data protection agreements for existing service contracts and assisted in drafting new data transfer agreements between inter-company legal entities. Before Trimble Inc., Preston studied law at the University of Kansas School of Law.
