About Mikal Underhill

At Meta, my leadership in the Rapid Response Program has solidified a robust framework for managing regulatory inquiries and fostering cross-functional collaboration. With a Certified Information Privacy Professional credential, I have been instrumental in developing a centralized program that not only coordinates but also proactively manages privacy issues. This initiative has significantly improved response times and compliance accuracy, benefiting both the organization and the stakeholders we serve.The competencies I\'ve honed while managing Meta\'s Privacy Strategic Program are evident in the precision of processes and standards I established. These efforts have successfully streamlined responses across multiple platforms, including Meta and WhatsApp. My proficiency in data analysis and mentoring, combined with my tenure as an Adjunct Professor at Seattle University, underpins my commitment to nurturing talent and promoting an informed understanding of privacy in the digital age.
