    Congratulations! Perhaps you have been appointed as the Chief Privacy Officer (CPO) or the Data Protection Officer (DPO) for your company. Or maybe you are an experienced CPO/DPO, and you wonder – "what can I learn from other successful privacy experts to be even more effective?" Or perhaps you are considering a move from a different career path and deciding if this is the right direction for you.

    Seasoned award-winning Privacy and Cybersecurity leaders Dr. Valerie Lyons (Dublin, Ireland) and Todd Fitzgerald (Chicago, IL USA) have teamed up with over 60 award-winning CPOs, DPOs, highly respected privacy/data protection leaders, data protection authorities, and privacy standard setters who have fought the tough battle.

    Just as the #1 best-selling and CANON Cybersecurity Hall of Fame winning CISO Compass: Navigating Cybersecurity Leadership Challenges with Insights from Pioneers book provided actionable advice to Chief Information Security Officers, The Privacy Leader Compass is about straight talk – delivering a comprehensive privacy roadmap applied to, and organized by, a time-tested organizational effectiveness model (the McKinsey 7-S Framework) with practical, insightful stories and lessons learned.

    You own your continued success as a privacy leader. If you want a roadmap to build, lead, and sustain a program respected and supported by your board, management, organization, and peers, this book is for you.
