Google’s Chief Privacy Officer, Keith Enright, is set to depart from the company this fall, marking the conclusion of his 13-year tenure at the tech giant, an Alphabet spokesperson confirmed on Tuesday.
“We regularly adapt our legal, regulatory, and compliance efforts to align with emerging obligations and expectations. Our recent adjustments will expand the scope of individuals dedicated to regulatory compliance throughout the organization,” stated the spokesperson.
Keith Enright assumed the role of Google’s privacy chief in September 2018, during a period of heightened governmental scrutiny surrounding privacy concerns.
His departure forms part of a broader restructuring within the privacy teams, with Google aiming to decentralize privacy policy responsibilities across various product management teams.
“In light of my tenure exceeding 13 years at Google, I am prepared for a new chapter and will be transitioning this fall, leveraging my accumulated experiences while exploring fresh opportunities,” Keith Enright conveyed in a LinkedIn post.
