Identity in the C-Suite? The Role of the Chief Identity Officer

Whereas our Privacy and Security peers have top executive-level access and presence as well as often Board-level access, Identity typically does not. Should that continue to be the case? Are the conditions right for the establishment of a Chief Identity Office… and is that even a good idea?

In this panel, Drs. Jacoba Sieders, Denny Prvu, and Ian Glazer will debate the pros and cons of the notion of a Chief Identity Officer role. Topics will include:

• What would the value of such a role be? And how is such a role measured?
• What would the responsibilities of said Officer be and what is the role’s remit? What are its boundaries?
• What questions should the Board and C-Suite be asking? What should they know about identity that they don’t today?
• How would such an Officer quantify the value of the identity infrastructure to the business?
• Does the need for the role differ based on industry sector and geography?
• How would this role fit with the Chief Digital Officer, Information Security Officer, and Privacy / Data Protection Officer?
• And how would this make things better for the digital identity practitioner and the industry as a whole?
