Director of Ethics & Compliance

Building Programs
That Actually Work

I am responsible for the design, operation, and execution of a corporate ethics and compliance program spanning Code of Conduct governance, the investigations framework, hotline and speak-up channels, policy management, training, communications, and reporting to senior leadership and the Board’s Audit Committee.

My team runs day-to-day investigations and program activities. I set direction, make escalation and remediation decisions, and ensure issues are handled consistently and fairly. Under my leadership, the function manages roughly 160 investigations per year across fraud, employee misconduct, harassment and retaliation, conflicts of interest, FCPA/anti-corruption, and labor and union matters.

“The team sustains near-100% annual training completion, near-100% policy attestation, and ~70% employee confidence in reporting — consistent performance sustained over more than a decade.”

I work closely with HR, Legal, operations, and external counsel on investigations, remedial actions, and M&A due diligence and post-close integration, ensuring counterparties adopt our Code of Conduct, speak-up channels, and core training quickly.
