Angela Balakrishnan

Angela heads up the award-winning communications and public affairs directorate at the Information Commissioner's Office‚ the UK's data protection regulator. Her teams help people understand their privacy and freedom of information rights. But more than that, they use comms to help people to care: to take steps to protect their information, and to see why their rights, and the ICO's work protecting them, are so important. She specialises in using integrated communications that bring together engaging storytelling, creative content and partnerships to connect organisations' work with different audiences and deliver social change. She is Vice-President of Women in PR, the membership network to increase the diversity and number of women in leadership across the PR and Comms industry.
