Who we are.

Skandor Advisory was founded by Carl Ohrwall, a senior privacy and AI governance leader with over a decade of strategic and operational experience inside global pharmaceutical organisations, where he served as Data Protection Officer and member of the AI/Data Governance Council spanning 15+ markets. 

The foundation of every Skandor engagement is that lived experience running DPIAs across R&D, Digital, and Commercial functions; embedding privacy into AI deployment processes; managing regulators and internal boards. This judgment was not formed in a consulting practice. 
It was formed in the room where decisions were made.

Executives and boards navigating privacy and AI governance in pharma need advisors who have lived the complexity they face, not theorists who have studied it from the outside, Skandor provides that perspective. The transition to independent advisory is deliberate: every engagement is principal-led from first conversation to final deliverable, bringing only considered, proportionate judgment to the specific regulatory question in front of you.
