Pace University’s Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems recently organized an event which hosted Emilie Nasseh, a prominent New York City-based lawyer specializing in privacy law and compliance, as a guest speaker.
The event and conversation, held in Seidenberg’s Design Factory space, were moderated by Seidenberg’s Interim Dean, Dr. Li-Chiou Chen, and then moved into an interactive session with students. With her extensive experience in the technology, finance, and retail sectors, Emilie has collaborated with corporations in both the United States and France to enhance their privacy and cybersecurity programs, and has worked with companies like Meta, Capital One, Yum Brands, Kimberly-Clark, Ipsen, and Proskauer. Emilie’s expertise includes privacy regulations, cybersecurity, and the evolving field of AI compliance, while she also engages in thought leadership through her blog, Legally Brunette.
The event was yet another example of Seidenberg’s commitment to connecting Pace students’ classroom education to real world experience, as students had an opportunity to explore how their technical skills could align with legal careers. Emilie’s insights illuminated the various interesting opportunities at the juncture of law and technology, and her discussions with Dean Chen and the students ranged from tech roles in legal contexts to artificial intelligence, and to the convergence of cybersecurity and legal frameworks—a particularly timely topic as Seidenberg recently launched its new BS in Cybersecurity program. The program, designed to address growing industry demands, equips students with hands-on learning and interdisciplinary knowledge.
As the Seidenberg School continues to lead in preparing students for cutting-edge careers by facilitating events where they gain direct insights from industry leaders, Emilie Nasseh’s expertise and engaging discussions provided invaluable perspectives on the intersection of law and tech, inspiring students to envision a variety of roles their roles for their future.
