iHeartMedia has announced that Andrew L. Dahm has been named the company’s Chief Privacy Officer. Dahm will also remain in his role as iHeartMedia’s Senior Corporate Counsel. He will also work closely with Steve Mills, iHeartMedia’s Global Chief Information Officer, and David Neuman, iHeartMedia’s Global Chief Information Security Officer, to oversee company-wide data security and protection plans.
“Protecting our company data and personal information has always been a priority for iHeartMedia,” said Rich Bressler, iHeartMedia’s President, COO and CFO. “Andrew is uniquely suited for this important new role at our company and has been at the center of the legal aspects of all of our digital operations for several years, including the development of our privacy policies for consumers and employees and our third-party vendor relationships relating to privacy matters.”
“I’m looking forward to helping to spearhead the company’s privacy strategy, regulatory compliance and risk management efforts as iHeartMedia’s Chief Privacy Officer,” said Dahm. “iHeartMedia serves tens of millions of people each month through our vast array of platforms, including our iHeartRadio digital service and more than 800 station and personality websites. They trust us with their information and keeping that information safe is our top priority.”
Dahm joined iHeartMedia in 2011 as its Senior Corporate Counsel, Business and Regulatory, and has helped ensure company-wide compliance with privacy and data security laws through the review of iHeartMedia’s data use practices.
