Summary
What does it take to build a global privacy framework that actually works? In this episode, Marcelo Canha, Global Privacy Director and DPO at Organon, shares his experience designing a privacy program from scratch across 80+ countries — starting with a technically perfect framework that ultimately failed. The lesson? Complexity doesn’t scale. Marcelo explains how shifting to a simple, practical approach — focused on DPIAs, RoPAs, and real business needs — made the difference, and why buy-in is not just a buzzword, but a strategy. A must-listen for privacy leaders navigating global compliance, limited resources, and the gap between regulation and reality.
