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 Valerie Charles, partner at StoneTurn. We discuss Valerie’s journey to the CCO chair, then to a ComTech start up, to her current role at StoneTurn and look down the road at where ComTech and compliance will be in 2025 and beyond.
Valerie was a dancer from a young age and this passion helped inform her early academic career. Her civil rights work out of college lead to her to law school and that led to work in Big Law in white collar defense. From there she moved in-house, heading up a corporate compliance function. In this role she saw the need for an integrated tech solution for the corporate compliance function.
