#1 bestselling privacy book from Taylor & Francis in 2023 and 2024!

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.
