With more organizations adding to their management ranks the chief data officer position, privacy professionals need to better understand this key stakeholder. This session will be a moderated discussion with CDOs from different industries. The panel will pursue two objectives. The first objective is to better understand what this role means. The session will start with a review of key findings from the IAPP/EY governance report for 2018 on topics such as budget, levels, team size and priorities, and have the CDOs on stage compare those findings with their own governance reality. The second objective of this panel is to learn how privacy professionals should work with the CDO for the most effective engagement. We will discuss topics including what the CDO has to do with personal information, the CDO’s contribution to accountable and ethical use of personal information, and what the CDOs see as an effective relationship with privacy professionals.What you’ll take away:How the leading data role is different than the leading privacy role in an organizationWhat privacy professionals need to know about working with the CDO
