The Information Commissioner’s Office has announced the recruitment of Simon McDougall as the new Executive Director for Technology Policy and Innovation. The move is a nod to the changing threat demands facing the UK and the ICO. The ICO stated:

“I am honoured to have the opportunity to join the ICO and lead their work in this critical area. Technological change continues to accelerate, and it is vital that the ICO remains constructively and robustly engaged as organisations innovate in the use of personal data.”
