Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolHannah Poteat is a veteran privacy and data protection leader based in Oakland with nearly three decades of experience and a decade focused on corporate privacy counsel and program building. She has built privacy functions from the ground up at companies like GitHub and Twilio, led global compliance across GDPR, CCPA/CPRA and sectoral regimes, and stood up AI governance for emerging model risk at LTK. Known for translating complex legal and security issues into practical controls, she has negotiated enterprise DPAs, streamlined contracting to speed product launches, and served as an acting DPO reporting to executive boards. Equally fluent in incident response, KYC/AML and employee privacy, she blends courtroom-grade legal skills with hands-on security roots dating back to building security teams and managed firewall products. Often described (and self-styled) as a “Privacy Superhero,” she is currently advising companies on responsible AI use and privacy while on sabbatical from full-time roles.
