Welcome to NoTies Consulting β a Norwegian-registered limited liability company founded by Rie Aleksandra Walle β that's me. π
I deliver speaking and training services globally, and run DPO Hub β built for busy data protection pros who want to save time and get trustworthy, practical and actionable tips on CJEU cases and EDPB guidance β along with the DPO Hub Community.
I also co-host the widely known Grumpy GDPR podcast and share personal musings and opinionated opinions in my free newsletter The Rieview.
Make sure to connect and say hi on LinkedIn β I regularly share news, insights and takeaways there too.
I'm the former Privacy Officer for Fathom Analytics (Canada) and Fractional CPO for Quizrr (Sweden), and have served as external DPO for Postmark and Demio (US) and Interim DPO for Kristiania University College (Norway).
I've worked directly with over 100 organisations across Germany, Thailand, Singapore, the Nordics and beyond β doing all the nitty-gritty of GDPR A-Z along the way!
I also guest lecture and serve as an external grader at BI Norwegian Business School, Kristiania University College and HINN University, and I'm part of the European Data Protection Boardβs external Pool of Experts.
Before diving into data protection, I worked across both public and private sectors in areas like strategy, digital transformation, business development and higher education. My experience includes roles at a university college, a national eGovernment agency, and Nordic Innovation (under the Nordic Council of Ministers).
I also spent five years at EY in the Nordics and Middle East, where I led cross-cultural teams, managed high-stakes projects and multi-million-dollar accounts across a range of markets. That was challenging, and fun!
Thanks for reading all the way to the end β if you'd like to get in touch, do so here or just send me a message on LinkedIn.
