In this episode of Practical Privacy, Orla Dormer speaks with Avishay Klein, Head of Privacy, AI and Cyber Department at Barnea Jaffa Lande. They discuss why privacy programs often fail at implementation — from unrealistic data retention timelines to top-down governance models that teams cannot operationalise. The conversation explores practical ways to align GDPR and AI governance requirements with real business capabilities, emphasising collaboration, understanding operational constraints, and designing processes that teams can actually implement.

How do you make AI Act and GDPR training something people actually pay attention to?
In this episode of Practical Privacy, Orla Dormer speaks with Jared Browne, Fexco Group Head of Privacy & AI Governance, about turning regulatory training into engaging, story-driven experiences. From framing AI Act sessions as a murder mystery to delivering AI literacy as a playful “Overlords of the Rings” narrative, Jared shares how storytelling, humor, and structure dramatically improve attention and retention.

Embedding AI governance across 39 countries is not just a compliance exercise, it’s a change management challenge.

In this episode of Practical Privacy, Orla Dormer speaks with Martin Woodward, Director Global Legal & Global Responsible AI Officer at Randstad, about building a global AI governance program in a decentralized organization.

Martin shares why a centralized, top-down approach led to slow adoption, and how appointing Responsible AI Officers in each market transformed engagement and ownership. He also explains why culture should shape your governance strategy, especially in a human-centric organization. If you're starting or scaling AI governance, this episode offers practical lessons on turning principles into action across borders.

In Episode 2 of Practical Privacy, Orla Dormer is joined by Helen Graham (Global Head of Privacy at IVC Evidensia) to unpack one of the biggest challenges privacy teams face today: keeping up with a constant wave of new and evolving data legislation.

Helen shares why compliance can’t be treated as a legal exercise alone, how operational context is critical to assessing real business impact, and why effective privacy programmes depend on cross-functional and cross-border collaboration. 

The conversation also reflects on leadership, buy-in, and the ongoing need for privacy professionals to explain and defend why privacy matters, even after years in the role. A practical discussion for anyone working to make privacy scalable, sustainable, and embedded in the business.

In this first episode of Practical Privacy, Orla Dormer sits down with Dave Evans to unpack a problem many privacy teams recognise instantly: having a ROPA that technically exists, but does not actually help you answer real questions.
