Michelle Finneran Dennedy, Chief Data Strategy Officer, Abaxx Technologies
In this episode, Debbie Reynolds, the Data Diva speaks with Michelle Finneran Dennedy, Chief Data Strategy Officer at Abaxx Technologies, about the evolution of privacy as a discipline and its intersection with data strategy, technology, and business operations.
Michelle shares her professional journey from patent litigation into privacy leadership, including her experience building privacy programs and helping organizations operationalize privacy across complex environments. The conversation explores how privacy has evolved from a legal compliance function into a core business discipline that requires alignment across legal, engineering, and executive teams.
Debbie and Michelle discuss the importance of translating complex regulatory and technical requirements into actionable practices that organizations can implement. They examine how organizations must move beyond reactive compliance approaches and instead develop forward-looking strategies that anticipate changes in regulation and technology.
The discussion also explores how data strategy intersects with infrastructure, identity, and emerging technologies, including how systems are designed, how data is structured, and how organizations manage data across environments. Michelle highlights the importance of communication in bridging disciplinary gaps and ensuring that privacy concepts are understood and applied effectively.
The episode emphasizes the need for cross-functional collaboration, practical implementation strategies, and systems that reflect both technical realities and the human impact of data use.
