Harriet Pearson, partner at Hogan Lovells and EPIC Advisor, hosted a podcast on company privacy practices and the role of privacy attorneys. Prior to her role at Hogan Lovells, Ms. Pearson was the Vice President, Security Counsel & Chief Privacy Officer for IBM. There she led the company’s global compliance, law and policy initiatives in privacy, data protection and cybersecurity.

Recently, EPIC called for a moratorium on the us of facial recognition technology until there is more research on how this particular technology will impact marginalized communities.
