June 4 (Reuters) - Google's chief privacy
officer, Keith Enright, will leave the company this fall, after
13 years at the tech giant, a spokesperson for the
Alphabet-owned company said on Tuesday.
"We regularly evolve our legal, regulatory and compliance
efforts to meet new obligations and expectations. Our latest
changes will increase the number of people working on regulatory
compliance across the company," the spokesperson said.
Enright was named Google's privacy chief in September 2018,
at a time when the company faced heavy government scrutiny over
privacy issues.
Enright's departure is part of a broader reorganization
within the privacy teams, with the company attempting to shift
privacy policy to various individual product management teams,
according to the company.
"After over 13 years at Google, I'm ready for a change, and
will be moving on this fall, taking all that I've learned and
trying something new," Enright wrote in a post on LinkedIn.
