+ Own the strategy, its implementation, and, working in conjunction with the Office of General Counsel Privacy Office, ensure ongoing compliance with all privacy requirements globally inside FIS businesses including as key point for completing annual Privacy Reviews, as well as with Ford’s specific privacy commitments beyond those required by law.

+ Strong leadership qualities and interpersonal skills to effectively manage and be a member of multiple teams which will be cross-functional, multi-department, and with many perspectives to engage, influence and gain buy-in
