    Data Sovereignty, AI Risk & Ethical Tech with Samantha Simms

    Privacy used to be the conversation. Now everyone's chasing AI, and the data rights of billions of people are getting left behind in the rush. In this episode of MY GRC POV, I sit down with Samantha Simms, a digital compliance attorney, AI strategist, and global thought leader, for a wide-ranging conversation on what privacy really means in the digital age, why GRC professionals need to stop overcomplicating their message, and what it actually looks like to lead on data ethics at a global scale. Samantha operates across the US, UK, Canada, and the Caribbean through her consultancy The Information Collective and law firm Noir Digital Law, and she brings a perspective on privacy and power that most compliance conversations never touch. What we cover in this episode: Why privacy is universal — and why we overcomplicate it when we focus on frameworks instead of peopleDigital sovereignty and the uncomfortable truth about who actually owns your dataAlgorithmic bias in AI hiring tools and the discrimination hiding in plain sightHow to get C-suite buy-in on privacy — speaking the language of the business, not the regulationWhy Samantha flipped the DPO role into a strategic leadership function with her "DPO Like a Boss" coaching programWhat leaders need to do right now to build and maintain digital trustThis one goes deep. And it should. Connect with Samantha Simms, Esq. on LinkedIn, Substack, and at samanthasimsesq.com.

    Culture Is the Real Compliance Program with Shalini Rajoo

    What if the compliance program you've been building isn't the real one? The real one is your culture. And culture is set by whoever is leading. In this episode, I sit down with Shalini Rajoo — global compliance attorney, former board-level ethics and compliance executive, and founder — for a direct conversation on why leadership is the most critical variable in any GRC program. We cover: why compliance breakdowns trace back to leadership decisions, how to read an organization's integrity from the language leaders use, what courageous leadership looks like under pressure, and why Shalini flipped the Speak Up model into a Listen Up campaign — and aimed it directly at managers. This one will make you look in the mirror. Connect with Shalini Rajoo on LinkedIn.
