Chief Privacy Officers
Make data privacy an enterprise priority
Overview
As a chief privacy officer (CPO), you are responsible for the overall compliance management process. You develop and execute privacy initiatives to protect the personal information of customers and employees. You are highly cross-functional, working not only with function leads like the general counsel and chief compliance officer, but also with the rest of the C-suite executives and key business leaders.
