Ellen Marie Giblin Joins Pell Center Fellows Program

NEWPORT, RI — The Pell Center welcomes Ellen Marie Giblin as a new adjunct fellow to the Pell Center Fellows program. Giblin is counsel in the Boston office of Locke Lord Edwards, focusing her practice on global privacy and data protection and data breach response.

“Ms. Giblin brings a wealth of experience and expertise on the legal aspects of cybersecurity,” says Fellow for Cyber Leadership Francaesca Spidalieri. “The Cyber Leadership project, and especially the Rhode Island Corporate Cybersecurity Initiative (RICCI), will greatly benefit from her knowledge and will be able to expand the scope of its research and outreach to many other emerging areas in the cyber threat landscape.”

Giblin is internationally recognized in the area of cybersecurity, privacy, data security, breach response, investigations and information governance. She has years of legal and risk management experience in executing client enterprise-wide information governance, risk and compliance project engagements.

Drawing from faculty at the University and seasoned policy professionals across the United States, Pell Center Fellows are gifted communicators and teachers who have spent time not just studying a topic, but also working in the policy community. Backgrounds of the fellows’ expertise range from environmental policy and education to international affairs and American political thought.

“The Pell Center Fellows program has continued to grow with knowledgeable individuals like Ms. Giblin,” says Executive Director Jim Ludes. “Since the program’s launch in__, it has been a privilege to work with some of the most involved professionals in an array of different fields, including cybersecurity, an area of national security where the Obama administration seeks to improve.”
