MasterCard says it has hired Alexander N.M. Niejelow as a senior vice president of public policy, to fortify its global public policy team responsible for cyber-security.

According to the payments technology company, Niejelow will drive policy efforts in the areas of cyber-security and global data management, while also leading the company’s industry partnerships on technology policy issues. He will work with members of the global public policy and information governance and privacy teams.

Niejelow served as director for cyber-security policy on President Obama’s National Security Council. He was also chief of staff to the US Intellectual Property Enforcement Coordinator, where he helped coordinate the administration’s efforts to develop and enforce intellectual property and patent policies, according to MasterCard.

“Alex’s deep understanding of domestic and international cyber-security threats will help our efforts in working with partners and governments across the globe,” Tim Murphy, general counsel of MasterCard says.
