After three months without an executive in charge of privacy, Microsoft Corp. has found a new chief privacy strategist, the company said Monday.
Peter Cullen, currently corporate privacy officer at the Royal Bank of Canada, will join Microsoft on July 14, the Redmond, Washington, software maker said in a statement. Cullen replaces Richard Purcell, who left his job as corporate privacy officer at Microsoft at the end of March.
Reporting to Scott Charney, Microsoft's chief "Trustworthy Computing" strategist, Cullen's job will be to help ensure that privacy protection and best practices are part of Microsoft's products, services, systems and internal processes, the company said.
