The corporate officer best positioned to be such a champion is the chief privacy officer (CPO).

The goal in improving information economics is to develop the ability to control information cost and risk while increasing the value derived from it in order to significantly improve the profit margin on information.
The CPO is key in achieving those goals.

Enterprises are clogging their arteries with information, most of which has no real value but carries costs and risks. The CPO can help in disposing of that information that can only cause harm.

Most companies describe information as the lifeblood of the
organization. But too many enterprises have clogged their arteries.
How
can this be? Over time, the value of information declines, while the
associated costs remain constant and the compliance and legal risks
actually rise. This conclusion, based on research conducted by members
of the Compliance Governance and Oversight Council (CGOC),
implies that those who champion the defensible disposal of all
information that has no legal, regulatory or business value can help
their companies significantly reduce costs and risk. The corporate officer best positioned to be such a champion is the chief privacy officer (CPO). Defensible disposal is a particularly appealing idea for CPOs, who already help their organizations identify information of value, catalog where that information resides, and determine how it must be managed and disposed of in order to protect the organization, its employees and its customers.
