About

The product of a February 2018 merger of the digital and privacy teams, the new Michelin digital and privacy legal team is led by Sandrine Rambaud and is a seven-person group-level hub of legal digital and privacy expertise. Rambaud explains the team role as ‘developing and deploying the group privacy compliance program, supporting the privacy compliance in France, accompanying the business when designing and deploying digital offerings, as well as providing legal support to the experience of mobility business line’. The Michelin digital and privacy legal team provides a close support to digital initiatives such as “Driving Data to Intelligence”, but its main overarching role is to participate to ‘strengthen a corporate culture integrating compliance as a value-added, a key factor to earn and maintain our client’s trust’. Rambaud characterises the team’s values as ‘solidarity, exemplarity, enthusiasm and a solution-oriented mindset’, and finishes by stating ‘we need to rethink the way we are providing legal support to a business that is evolving very quickly. The development of legal tech should be included in order to be able to focus our resources on the real value-added matters – where the risks are’.
