Debbie Reynolds “The Data Diva” talks to Victoria Beckman, Associate General Counsel - Security & Privacy, Shopify. We discuss the importance of pursuing one's interests and being open to new opportunities in technology fields. We also explore the complex relationship between cybersecurity and privacy, third-party risk management and compliance challenges, and the increasing importance of supply chain and cybersecurity. Additionally, we stress the importance of diversity in the tech industry and the need for representation and role models to encourage more women and people of color to enter the field. Debbie Reynolds seeks advice from Beckman on collaborating with different groups of people in a corporate environment, and Beckman shares her experience of transitioning from a law firm to a corporation. She emphasizes the importance of being approachable, explaining things in a way the receiver will understand, and putting herself in their shoes to find creative solutions. Reynolds acknowledges that Beckman is bridging the gap between the theory of the law and the mechanics and operational side of what the teams need to do, highlighting the importance of understanding the resources and tools available to achieve the desired outcome and her hope for Data Privacy in the future.
