Data Stewardship and Ethics Through Line: From Looker to the IAF

What an amazing 3 years as part of Looker, which now come to an end. The Google Cloud acquisition is complete, along with the privacy functionality transition. https://cloud.google.com/looker 

In that time we (Looker) established a privacy program that worked for Looker and for its customers and partners, and also earned the respect of the Google Cloud acquisition team. We established something novel - a data ethics review board - focused on ethical and responsible data use and responsible third party relationships, with diverse representation from multiple functional groups. It's a reusable template for future efforts to establish data use or similar review boards.

Although the shadow of the Covid-19 pandemic remains, the next opportunity, like the spring, is here. 

 I’m deeply grateful and appreciative of my time at Looker! It was truly a one-of-a-kind and inspiring time - the people, the product and the place. 

Now comes a new type of challenge as I take on the role of COO at the Information Accountability Foundation. What a treat to be able to work alongside Marty Abrams!
