About Patrizia

Navigating EU regulation for digital and AI products is complex — AI Act, GDPR, DORA, NIS2, Data Act, Digital Services Act, European Accessibility Act, and beyond. I help product and technology teams turn that complexity into clear governance, practical controls, and compliant delivery.

I bring 25 years of senior product and operations leadership across FinTech, HealthTech, and SaaS, combined with something rare: LSE doctoral research in data protection and 18+ years as a European Commission evaluator for AI, data governance, and digital inclusion. I don't just understand regulation — I know how to make it work inside real product organisations.

Typical engagements include: EU regulatory gap assessments for digital and AI products, embedding compliance into product development lifecycles, defining AI governance frameworks and controls, building audit-ready evidence and documentation, and advising on cross-functional compliance programmes across product, engineering, legal, and marketing.

If your organisation is building or scaling digital products in regulated markets and needs senior expertise that bridges product strategy and EU compliance, let's talk.
