After a nine-month search, the Department of Homeland Security has appointed mid-level homeland security lawyer Hugo Teufel III, who has no formal experience in privacy compliance, to be the Chief Privacy Officer for Homeland Security.[.]
Word on the street is that the interviewees who had years of experience managing employees and dealing with privacy law and compliance didn’t even get the courtesy of a callback.
Doesn’t this just renew your faith in the government’s desire to protect the privacy rights of its citizens?
One wonders whether folks who are actually qualified to supervise privacy matters were deemed inherently disloyal to the administration, and are therefore weren’t considered as viable candidates for the job.
