Hello I’m Masayuki…

WHY I LOVE WHAT I DO

The proliferation of technology and the increasing significance of data in decision-making mean that businesses of all sizes and types have to grapple with data privacy, which can create unnecessary frictions and bottlenecks if not done correctly. The answers to privacy issues business face are rarely black and white, and in my role as privacy counsel, I help businesses pick the right shade of grey that strikes a good balance between compliance and risk. It is something I very much enjoy doing because the context in which privacy issues arise differ from one business to another, and it is the diversity of the context which makes the task of solving privacy issues interesting and rewarding

THE EXPERIENCE I BRING

I have over 20 years of professional experience gained through roles held at City law firms and leading international financial/professional services firms. I started my legal career practicing commercial/technology law with a focus on outsourcing, but privacy has been my specialism since 2012. As an IAPP-certified privacy expert, I bring extensive experience of handling a broad range of privacy-related matters in the UK, EU, and beyond. My extensive inhouse experience allows me to offer pragmatic and actionable advice to enable our clients to address the privacy challenges they face

WHEN I'M NOT WORKING

Gaming has been my passion ever since I got hold of my first PC, and when I’m not working, I can usually be found glued to my PC or PS5 playing games. I particularly enjoy multiplayer online games, and I find the way in which gaming can bring disparate groups of people together fascinating!
