Welcome to Privio! (aka: How I Turned My Privacy Obsession Into a Company)

Written by Julia | Nov 29, 2025 7:09:29 PM

Welcome to Privio’s very first blog post, the digital equivalent of a ribbon-cutting ceremony, except with fewer scissors and more caffeine.

I’m Julia: healthcare veteran, privacy professional, compliance translator, and someone who has genuinely uttered the words, “Wow, that regulation was actually interesting.” (Don’t worry — I’m fine.)

From Healthcare to Privacy: An Unexpected Plot Twist

After years in healthcare, one thing became clear: People are incredible. Processes… not always.

Healthcare taught me how deeply people value privacy, and how overwhelming it can be for organizations to protect it. Between HIPAA rules, security requirements, and enough acronyms to fill an alphabet soup, I became the go-to person for answering questions like: “Are we allowed to do this?”
and “Why is this a rule??”

Spoiler: there’s always a reason.

Why Privio Exists

I started Privio because privacy doesn’t have to be scary, confusing, or something you avoid until the day before launch. It can be clear. Supportive. Even… dare I say… enjoyable?

My goal was simple: Help people do the work they’re great at while I handle the privacy chaos.

No drama. No fear tactics. No 47-page documents disguised as “light reading.”

So, if you’ve ever whispered, “Do I actually need a privacy policy?” into Google at 2 AM — congratulations, you’re in the right place.

Here’s to What Comes Next

Whether you're here for a fractional CPO, a quick consultation, or just curious enough to read a privacy blog for fun (bold choice), I’m thrilled you’re part of the Privio world.

There’s so much more to come: smarter systems, simpler privacy, and yes… a few more jokes to keep things interesting.

Welcome to Privio. Let’s make privacy feel human again.
