Emily McGufficke brings a strong background in privacy compliance and risk management across multiple sectors. Drawing from her experience working in health, legal and financial sectors as well as regulatory roles, Emily can articulate for clients how privacy obligations apply to their operations, the material privacy risks associated with their business activities, and the appropriateness of the controls and compliance arrangements in place.

Over the course of her career, Emily held in-house privacy roles across both government and for-profit organisations, including Commonwealth Bank and x15ventures, CBA’s venture scaler and innovation arm. She also has a deep appreciation for the expectations of a privacy regulator, having worked in the OAIC, where she investigated and conciliated complaints, and conducted privacy audits and data-matching inspections on behalf of the Privacy Commissioner.

Emily was admitted as a lawyer in 2010 and is a member of the IAPP.
