You need more than a consultant, you need someone who checkmates complexity.

Data protection isn’t your core business. You have better things to do than decode legal frameworks, review privacy clauses, or scramble to assess risks mid-project.
But when you’re working with large organisations, public bodies, or international partners, compliance isn’t optional.
It’s decisive.

That’s where I come in.

I’m your Checkmate,
The partner who checks every line, every risk, every requirement.
The one who makes sure your data protection is not just “done”, but done right.
And more than that, I help you turn compliance into a real strategic advantage.

The question isn’t whether you’ll have to deal with data protection, but when.

I’m Lio, a certified DPO and data protection expert with deep experience in Regulation 2018/1725 (EuDPR) and a solid background in intellectual property rights.

Data protection and digital expertise within the EU institutions

For the past 6 years, I have worked at the European Parliament focusing exclusively on data protection and compliance and intellectual property rights, building strong expertise in these critical fields. Before that, I spent three years at the Parliament working across IT and data protection.

Earlier in my career, I managed digital projects for five years at the European Commission, contributing to the development and coordination of the institution website. Prior to joining the EU institutions, I gained entrepreneurial and technical experience by running my own web agency for five years, following a Master’s degree in Communication and several roles in IT and communication.

What my experience brings to the table

My background has given me a strong combination of technical, legal, and communication skills. I am experienced in training and workshops, making complex regulations understandable and actionable for diverse audiences.

I can just as easily brief senior management as work hand-in-hand with IT teams, ensuring alignment and clarity on data protection requirements.

Most importantly, I know how to foster a practical culture of compliance within large organisations — one that is effective, understood, and applied in daily work rather than perceived as a purely bureaucratic exercise.
