Advice at the interface of law, data and digital innovation
About me
Veronika Ludwig
My path began in the legal profession. I started my career with a solid education as a lawyer at the University of Bremen, later completed my Master's degree in International Business Law at the University of Zurich and gradually specialized in IT outsourcing and data protection. My tasks included global data protection projects, the development of structured compliance processes and their practical implementation in an international corporate environment. Over time, I became particularly interested in one question: how can data not only be protected, but also used sensibly?

This thought led me to data governance: an area in which legal, strategic and technological aspects come together. My CAS Data Governance at the Lucerne School of Information Technology (HSLU) sharpened my view of data management and made it clear to me that data protection and data value creation are not a contradiction in terms, but must be considered together.
For me, data is far more than just a collection of information: it is an inexhaustible source of progress, innovation and efficiency. I am fascinated by how sensibly used data can create transparency, improve decisions and ultimately make people's lives easier. I see enormous potential in the healthcare sector in particular: data can optimize care, reduce costs and drive research forward if it is used in a structured, accessible and intelligent way. This is exactly where I come in.
I am particularly interested in data management in the healthcare sector.
I accompany digital transformation processes in organizations, develop strategies for data management and support organizations in organizing their data and generating real added value from it: structured, legally compliant and always with a view to practical implementation.
As an active co-designer, I contribute my expertise to the Swiss Data Alliance, among others, and work on public projects aimed at making health data secure and effective to use.
What drives me?
My enthusiasm for data and its possibilities. I am passionate about the question of how we can use data to promote innovation, make business models smarter and sustainably improve healthcare. My goal is not only to support service providers in meeting legal requirements, but also to help them turn their data into a forward-looking resource.
Understanding regulations. Enabling innovation. Using data responsibly.

Customer testimonials
"I worked during many years closely and successfully with Veronika on complex global IT and service provider contracts. Veronika always demonstrated a very high level of subject matter expertise and also supported other aspects such as provider negotiation tactics or challenging business cases and roll out scenarios in order to identify and close the best fitting deals."
"In an unprecedented large scale business model creation and implementation, she was my legal partner and proactively led multiple streams to solidify our strategy and prepare us soundly for execution. Her eye for detail coupled with effective communication enhanced the speed and quality of senior-level negotiations, till we reached a successful and well-recognized conclusion of the partnership agreement. "
"Veronika is the essence of the three P's: Professional, Persistent, Patient. She has a fast-moving analytical mind that is dedicated to getting things done right. Especially when Covid hit, and measures had to be taken in every region and country; she was an invaluable partner for me in assessing what we were allowed to do where, and how we could frame our operational guidelines while still taking care of personal privacy and data protection."
