Ryan Chiavetta, CIPP/US

Ryan Chiavetta, associate editor, produces content for the IAPP’s Daily Dashboard, European Dashboard Digest, Canada Dashboard Digest and Asia-Pacific Dashboard Digest. In addition, Ryan is a regular contributor to the Privacy Tech blog, where he is able to focus on new technologies.
Before landing at the IAPP, Ryan was the Online Content Coordinator at HealthLeaders Media, worked at Tufts Health Plan Medicare Preferred, assisting seniors with Medicare sign-ups, and interned as a Boston sports writer for NESN.
When he’s not sitting at his desk, Ryan might be watching the continuous Boston sports renaissance (12 titles since 2001), waiting for the next comic book movie to hit theaters (Batman vs.Superman was terrible), and waiting patiently for Game of Thrones’ next season.
