Ms. Cheng has held leadership roles at PSS Systems and Wells Fargo and is a recognized information governance industry expert and a trusted advisor to the world’s largest global financial services, insurance, energy, automotive and pharmaceutical corporations.
"Many organizations recognize the need for information governance, but very few know how to approach the problem or identify the starting point for a program,” said Jake Frazier, Senior Managing Director and Leader of the IG&CS practice at FTI Consulting. “We are seeing an increasing need from clients for practical solutions to address e-discovery, compliance and data security challenges, particularly in the EMEA region.
