Join Tom Fox and Ronnie Feldman on Creativity and Compliance, part of the Compliance Podcast Network. In this show, we’ll be exploring how creativity affects the world of compliance – the ways we use it, and the surprising impacts it can have on the work we do every day. From ethics to leadership, problem-solving to training – creativity permeates what we do as compliance professionals.  In this podcast we have a special quest, Angelique Lee-Rowley, CCO of GW Pharmaceuticals who visits with on the use some of the creative programming the company have rolled out this past year.
