Celebrating Excellence in Privacy: Peter McShea Named IAPP Fellow of Information Privacy

We are proud to announce that Peter McShea, Aires’ Manager of Privacy, Risk, & Compliance and Privacy Officer, has been named a Fellow of Information Privacy (FIP) by the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP). This prestigious designation recognizes professionals who demonstrate exceptional knowledge, leadership, and commitment to the field of data privacy.

Peter’s achievement is more than a personal milestone – it reflects Aires’ commitment to safeguarding the personal data entrusted to us by our clients. As a company that handles vast amounts of personally identifiable information (PII) across global mobility programs, the integrity and security of that data is not just a priority, it is foundational to our success.

A Leader in Privacy and Risk Management

With certifications including Certified Information Privacy Professional /United States (CIPP/US), Artificial Intelligence Governance Professional (AIGP), and a Juris Doctor from Belmont University College of Law, Peter brings a rare blend of legal expertise, technical acumen, and strategic foresight to his role. Under his leadership, Aires has:

• Achieved ISO 27001 and 27701 certifications, placing us among the first globally to meet ISO 27701 standards for privacy management.
• Built GDPR- and CCPA-compliant frameworks for over 3,000 vendors.
• Led initiatives to integrate privacy-preserving technologies into AI development, including the creation of Aires’ Responsible Use of AI guidelines.
• Spearheaded readiness efforts for ISO 42001 Artificial Intelligence Management System certification.

A Voice for Responsible Innovation

Peter’s influence extends beyond compliance. He is a key contributor to Aires’ AI Trust Center and has helped shape our approach to transparency in AI-generated content, recommending clear disclaimers and ethical standards for all digital communications.

Why This Matters

In today’s digital landscape, data privacy is not just a legal obligation – it is a business imperative. Peter’s work ensures that Aires remains a trusted partner for clients navigating complex global mobility challenges. His recognition as an IAPP Fellow affirms the caliber of leadership we have in place to protect what matters most: our clients’ data, their trust, and their peace of mind.

Please join us in congratulating Peter McShea on this well-deserved honor. His dedication strengthens our foundation and propels us forward as a privacy-first organization.
