Farah Zaman, Founder of Zaman Strategies

Founded by Farah Zaman, former General Counsel at ElevenLabs, Chief Privacy Officer at Meredith Corporation, and Senior Global Data Privacy Counsel at Colgate-Palmolive, Zaman Strategies brings experienced leadership into law firms, startups, and established companies when it's needed. Farah hasn't just advised on privacy and AI programs; she has built, led, and transformed them from the inside, at ElevenLabs, Meredith, and Colgate-Palmolive, among others.

Farah's Approach

Through Zaman Strategies, Farah brings a decade of privacy and AI governance leadership directly to law firms and growing businesses that need on-demand expertise. Her fractional, embedded approach is designed for organizations that need senior expertise without adding a full-time executive.

A startup or growing company needs CPO-level leadership but isn't ready for a full-time hire.

An AI company is navigating the intersection of data, privacy, business strategy, and emerging regulation.

A privacy leader is stepping into a new role, industry, or growth stage and needs support to right-size and mature the program.

An organization needs interim leadership during a leave, executive transition, or other temporary gap.
