Acxiom’s Jennifer Barrett Glasgow Honored with 2011 Privacy Vanguard Award

Acxiom® Corporation (Nasdaq: ACXM), a recognized leader in marketing services and technology, today announced that the International Association of Privacy Professionals has named Acxiom’s Jennifer Barrett Glasgow as the winner of IAPP’s Privacy Vanguard Award.

The IAPP Privacy Vanguard Award honors the privacy professional who has demonstrated outstanding leadership, knowledge and creativity in privacy and data protection, whether through spearheading projects or programs that positively impact the privacy profession or through achievements over the course of an entire tenure or career. The IAPP Board of Directors' Executive Committee selects the recipient from a distinguished list of nominees.

Glasgow, who leads Acxiom’s Global Public Policy and Privacy Group, is "viewed as an expert and balanced voice in the privacy field,” the IAPP said. In 1991, Acxiom named Glasgow as the first Chief Privacy Officer in the U.S., marking the beginning of Acxiom’s initiatives to safeguard consumer privacy. Having joined Acxiom in 1973, Glasgow has worked in nearly every facet of the company related to involvement in regulatory initiatives and continuous peer mentoring around privacy and data governance.

"Jennifer Barrett Glasgow’s tireless work and deep expertise have helped advance and influence global data protection in tangible ways,” said IAPP Chairman Bojana Bellamy, director of data privacy at Accenture. "The field will continue to benefit from her leadership, and this IAPP Privacy Vanguard Award reflects the appreciation of her peers.”

"We are extremely proud of Jennifer’s leadership as an advocate for both the industry and the consumer,” said Acxiom Chief Executive Officer Scott Howe. "She has put Acxiom at the forefront of data privacy matters and has developed one of the most advanced and robust privacy programs in the world that helps guide our worldwide clients to compliant and improved business results.”
