Communications & Data Governance

The hardest part of governance isn't the framework — it's making sure everyone understands what's at stake.

EU Compliance
& AI Ethics

With a background in Human Rights Law and working knowledge of DAMA data management principles, I work with the regulatory frameworks that shape how organizations handle data and AI responsibly — EU AI Act, GDPR, FRIA, and human rights-based approaches to bias detection, privacy risks, and ethical impact assessments.

Communication & Training

I turn complex frameworks into clear, accessible language that sticks. Through storytelling, tailored workshops, and hands-on training, I make sure every team — legal, HR, operations, leadership — not only understands what governance requires, but knows how to apply it. And because I work with the technical tools myself, I know exactly where people get lost — and how to bring them back.

Data-driven Governance

I use SQL, Python, and Power BI to build dashboards and KPI frameworks that make governance visible — turning policy into measurable business outcomes and giving leadership the evidence they need to make informed decisions.

Selected Work

A selection of communications projects — from end-to-end campaign management to strategic storytelling.

Experience

Roles where I've led communications, coordinated European projects and contributed to organisational strategy.

About Me

Micaela Lafratta facilitating a workshop with an audience

I'm a Communications Strategist with 8 years of experience working across international cooperation, human rights, and the European third sector — now focused on the intersection of data governance, EU compliance, and AI ethics.

I work with teams and stakeholders to make governance frameworks understandable and actionable — from mapping regulatory requirements to designing training programmes and building KPI dashboards that turn policy into measurable outcomes. I've trained 200+ people across 15+ countries, managed partner networks of 24+ international organisations, and delivered EU compliance reporting across multiple funding programmes. I work in English, French, and Spanish.

My background in Human Rights Law and Communications taught me that how information is handled has real consequences for real people. When I started working with data, I saw the same pattern everywhere: organisations drowning in regulation and data they don't know how to use. I decided I wanted to be part of fixing that — bridging the gap between what the rules require, what teams understand, and what the numbers actually show.
