Andy and Pedro chat with their good friend Alan Chapell, longtime AdTech privacy lawyer and one of the key voices in the overlap between AdTech and competition law.

Andy and Pedro discuss the importance of putting yourself out there in your career by speaking, writing and engaging in public conversations. They also bat around some really important concepts like what to watch on flights, motorcycle meditation and the best privacy pros to hear speak at events.

Andy and Pedro celebrate the 100th episode of DPBC! They discuss the future of tech companies in the EU, focusing on data protection regulations and the challenges these companies face. Thank you for listening!

We last talked with Greg in October of 2021. In that episode we covered Greg’s law firm days, in-house career and formation of TechGC with his Co-Founder Kiran Lingam.

We catch up with Greg again to discuss the growth of the L Suite and really just the impact of “community” on our work and life. And of course we will tackle the very important question of the best pizza in Brooklyn and Manhattan.

Would you move for your dream job?  Aaron Mendelsohn did, but not a simple move.  He and his family relocated to Denmark when he got an opportunity to join the LEGO Group and help support its privacy journey.  We rarely see a US lawyer going to Europe and its a fascinating story.  

Aaron loves the LEGO Group brand deeply (and so do we).  Supporting a company and brand which you personally use and love often goes a long way in doing your best work!
