The Compliance Life details the journey to and in the role of a Chief Compliance Officer. How does one come to sit in the CCO chair? What are some of the skills a CCO needs to success navigate the compliance waters in any company? What are some of the top challenges CCOs have faced and how did they meet them? These questions and many others will be explored in this new podcast series. Over four episodes each month on The Compliance Life, I visit with one current or former CCO to explore their journey to the CCO chair. This month, my guest is Susan Divers, currently Director of Thought Leadership at LRN.
In 2009, Susan moved into the CECO chair at AECOM. She became the Senior Corporate Vice President, Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer & Associate General at AECOM. In this role she built out a compliance program across the globe for an international infrastructure construction company and built out her compliance team. She learned that to engage employees in compliance and ethics you often needed to explain the ‘why’ of compliance. She talked about the values of senior leadership and how that helped infuse compliance throughout the organization. She was particularly proud of the company receiving a World’s Most Ethical designation early in her tenure and then for five consecutive years.
