How Peter is building a better working world
“The EY goal is to help clients implement legal requirements in a business-friendly and efficient way while gaining the trust of their customers. This applies in particular for the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), where it is a complex process to align the law, business needs and customer expectations.”
