Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley. In this Part 1 of a special two-part episode, Mary Shirley begins a conversation with Cindy Morrison. Cindy is the Director of Compliance at Post Holdings, Inc. Like many great Compliance relationships, Mary met Cindy Morrison through Compliance Connector Jay Rosen at a volunteering event in Las Vegas in the lead up to the 2015 SCCE CEI.
Mary identified Cindy as an exemplary candidate for the Great Women in Compliance Podcast because of her calm and unwavering presence in environments of chaos and noise – a key strength for any capable and grounded Compliance Officer.
In this episode, part one of a two-part series with Cindy, Cindy shares some of the risks specific to the food industry as she works as Director of Compliance at Post Holdings.
Cindy also shares her journey getting to her current position, having started out as a paralegal.
She goes on to discuss how her passion for Compliance goes beyond her 9-5 job as one of the organizers of a community of Compliance professionals in the St Louis area and gives tip on how to make such group get togethers work for listeners interested in establishing their own local networks of Compliance meetings with colleagues from neighboring companies.
