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 Wendy Badger, CCO at Tennant Company.
Wendy knew she wanted to be a lawyer long before she went to law school. She was the first person in her family to graduate from college and then obtain an advanced degree.   She talked about some of the challenges she faced and the support and mentorship she received. We then discussed her early legal career – immediate jump to compliance in the early 2000s through a very non-traditional path of joining an international trade association where she found passion for and niche in compliance.
