Kenneth has obtained the Certified Information Privacy Professional for the U.S. Private Sector (CIPP/US), an ANAB-accredited credential provided by the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP).

Kenneth counsels clients on data governance issues to address business needs while minimizing risks and complying with a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape and other legal obligations. He has extensive experience advising businesses in the technology, consumer, healthcare and financial industries regarding information management and disposition policies, data transfers, third-party/vendor negotiation and management relative to data administration, and disaster recovery and avoidance.

With over 10 years of in-house experience at SAP and C3.ai, Kenneth understands how software licensors and professional services providers negotiate transactions. He values each party’s concerns – whether driven by a regulatory schema or the particular industry in which each party operates. He also balances the many concerns and nuances arising from the use and development of artificial intelligence solutions in the real world.

Kenneth began his journey as an attorney at Brown & Connery, a Philadelphia-area law firm, where he focused his practice on commercial litigation and bankruptcy matters. He helped financial institutions and software licensors protect their intellectual property and ensure that payments continued during the pendency of the bankruptcy proceedings.

Kenneth holds a J.D. degree from Rutgers Camden and an LL.M. in Bankruptcy Law from St. John’s University.  He is a member of the New York and New Jersey Bars.
