Nathan helps clients manage cybersecurity risks in the contexts of security incidents, security program development, commercial agreements, and mergers. He combines technical, legal, and business experience to understand, explain, assess, and mitigate data security risks that span those areas.  Nathan has led many companies' efforts to respond to major cybersecurity incidents, including incidents involving a nation state threat actor and incidents that impacted critical infrastructure or hundreds of millions of data subjects.

Nathan also assists companies that create artificial intelligence products, as well as  companies that use those products, in managing the privacy and cybersecurity risks associated with AI technologies. Nathan has led the response to more than two dozen regulatory investigations of artificial intelligence companies globally, assisted clients in developing artificial intelligence policies, and advised companies regarding product development strategies in the AI space.

Before becoming a lawyer, Nathan worked as a software engineer and manager of technical teams for 13 years.
