Excerpt: When Kirk Nahra, CIPP/US, talks about his career, the WilmerHale partner and Cybersecurity Privacy Practice co-chair doesn't give the impression that he is a leading voice on privacy and cybersecurity matters in the U.S.
Undoubtedly, however, Nahra, who counsels clients from a wide variety of industries, is a go-to resource on data security and cybersecurity issues, analyzing and implementing health care, privacy and data security laws in the U.S. and beyond. For his leadership and knowledge in the space, Nahra was awarded the Vanguard Award in 2021 by the IAPP, an organization he has been involved with from its inception more than 20 years ago — serving as the first editor of The Privacy Advisor publication, as a member of the organization's board of directors and most recently ending a term on its Publications Advisory Board.
