Freja Lyno-Hansen is Head of Legal and Compliance at Thornico IT, where she works across legal, compliance, AI governance, cybersecurity, and data privacy. She has extensive experience with regulatory frameworks such as the AI Act, NIS2, GDPR, and ISO 27001, and advises both management and business functions on navigating emerging legal and compliance challenges.
Freja is particularly interested in AI governance, practical compliance implementation, and how legal and compliance functions can create business value. Alongside her role, she mentors law students and is passionate about highlighting the broad range of career opportunities available to legal professionals beyond traditional law firms, including in-house legal, compliance, and governance roles.
She enjoys exchanging experiences with peers and discussing topics such as regulatory developments, cybersecurity, AI, and the evolving role of legal and compliance professionals.
"I strongly believe in the value of peer learning. While regulations and frameworks provide the foundation, it is often through open discussions and shared experiences that we discover the most practical and effective approaches."
