Privacy specialists are at the forefront of data regulations across the globe. The modern privacy landscape is expanding exponentially, and everything from data ethics to biases in AI are on the table as we welcome Tharishni Arumugam to the CEO.digital Show. At Aon, she leads a team of privacy and data specialists who are helping their business to a more compliant and ethical future.
