About John K. Liu
I help technology companies translate legal, privacy, and regulatory complexity into practical business strategy. My work spans governance, enterprise risk, and customer trust. I combine legal judgment, technical fluency, and a founder perspective to support leadership teams as they navigate evolving risks and global regulatory expectations.As Founder and Chief Customer Officer at Privaini, I support global enterprises as they manage complex privacy and governance requirements across regions and business units. I helped build Privaini’s outside in risk intelligence model, which blends legal insight with technical validation to give multinational organizations a clear view of their privacy posture, regulatory exposure, and ecosystem risk. I focus on clarity, executive alignment, and insurer ready reporting, and I work closely with senior leaders, general counsel, outside counsel, and insurers to strengthen governance and trust across distributed environments.My background integrates law, engineering, economics, and computer science. I hold a JD from the UC Davis School of Law, where I served on the Moot Court Board and was a member of the Phi Delta Phi legal fraternity. At Stanford University I completed an MS in Engineering Economic Systems and a BS in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, and I worked as a research assistant at the Graduate School of Business. I am a registered patent agent with CIPP US certification, which deepens my perspective on technology, regulation, and business risk.I focus on helping organizations build governance strength, privacy maturity, and enduring customer trust. I bring a multidisciplinary perspective that supports executive teams and boards as they address strategic risk and long-term value creation.
