Meet the Team: Data Protection
Brandon Pinzon
Vice President, Data Protection Officer
What do you like most about your role?
Leading a program that moves the company forward and identifies where the most important data resides is a very satisfying experience..0
What’s your favorite app – for business and for fun?
For business: Teams – instant access to people and decisions.
For fun: Shazam and SoundCloud. I love music, and I love to keep adding to my library.
What do you like most about the Data Protection team?
Super smart, capable team who bring their whole selves to work and are a fun bunch to be around.
What one piece of data-protection advice do you recommend to Argo colleagues?
From Kevin Todd: “When in doubt, DON’T CLICK IT!”
Andrea Gillespie
Senior Data Protection & Privacy Analyst
What do you like most about your role?
Establishing relationships with business partners, learning the insurance side, building a program from the ground up … and the people I work with!
If you weren’t in data protection, what would you be doing?
Realistically: Governance and compliance.
If I won the lottery: Traveling and determining what self-led business I would like to have! Perhaps write a book.
What do you like most about the Data Protection team?
The peeps are highly intelligent individuals who are also hilarious, caring and part of my family.
Outside of work, what are you passionate about?
I really love to read fiction books! I also love to exercise and stay active (Beachbody and Peloton are my faves).
Leora Castillo
Data Protection & Privacy Analyst
What do you like most about your role?
Getting to work with and learn about so many aspects of the business. Partnering with different teams and helping them solve a problem is so exciting!
What’s your favorite app – for business and for fun?
For fun: I love Vivino – it’s a wine app!
For business: Office Lens – I’ve used it for several years, but distance learning has made it so much more valuable to me and my kids.
What one piece of data-protection advice do you recommend to Argo colleagues?
Data protection and privacy should not only be a part of one’s work life, it should be a part of your daily life.
Since you are in IT, you probably get asked for tech help. What’s one question you get from family members?
It’s mostly about deleting photos and syncing them. My parents and my in-laws constantly need more space on their phones!
Kevin Todd
Head of Security and Privacy
If you weren’t in data protection, what would you be doing?
I’d be in the family business: making wine!
What do you like most about your role?
The positive response to our program. Much of what we ask from people puts an additional burden on their already busy lives. I’ve yet to hear a complaint from anyone, which is a credit to the strong collaborative culture.
Are you a PC or Mac person?
What’s a Mac? Is that like an iPad with buttons?
What do you like most about the Data Protection team?
Definitely the time and effort committed to ridiculous outfits for our themed video calls. Pretty sure I actually met Don Johnson during our 80s call … well done, Brandon!
