Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley.
In this episode, Lisa talks with Jenna Waters, Cybersecurity Consultant at True Digital Security. Jenna has had a unique journey into compliance, as she enlisted in the Navy, was in counterintelligence, and then focusing on STEM in college. Jenna talks about the responsibility of being in the intelligence field in national security, what it is like to lead a team as a young woman in the military and how she decided on her career path. She also discusses key things to keep in mind as an ethics and compliance officer as you look at data security, and the importance of appropriate, objective risk assessments. She also distinguishes between cybersecurity and cyber-reactivity, and what that can mean for you and your organization – and how not preparing for cyberattacks can lead to reputational damage and loss of confidence by customers. And for those of you who are “Harry Potter” fans, we get into a discussion about which house and character each one would want to be (or would want, in Lisa’s case).

In this episode of Career Can Do, Mary Ann Faremouth chats with Svetlana Casanova, a candidate she placed. Svetlana’s story, Mary Ann says, “is a true example of how networking, the right mindset, with dedication, perseverance and a service orientation can overcome even the toughest of challenges.”
Svetlana moved to the US due to her marriage and was trying to find a job. Mary Ann comments that her advanced education, her work experience, and her pleasant personality made her an excellent candidate. However, it was still difficult for her to find a suitable job. She accepted Mary Ann’s advice to take a temporary job to increase her chances of getting a permanent position, which she was able to secure afterwards. Unfortunately, she was laid off because of the pandemic. She kept in touch with her former employers, however, and when things got better at the company, they asked her to return in another position.
A positive attitude, flexibility, and good work ethic are the traits employers look for right now, Mary Ann says. Employees who try to make a contribution to the greater good of the company are the ones who will be rewarded. “Stay positive, work hard, network,” Svetlana advises listeners. “If you have to take a temp job, do it. Always go the extra mile and have gratitude.”

Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast which takes a deep dive into a compliance related topic, literally going into the weeds to more fully explore a subject. This week Matt and Tom take a deep dive into the Deferred Prosecution Agreement entered into by First Energy company for its bribery of certain state officials in the state of Ohio, including the former Speaker of the House in Ohio. Some of the issues we consider are:
- What were the underlying facts?
- What were the bribery schemes involved?
- How did the tax code facilitate the bribery?
- What are the compliance program implications?
- How does this fit into ESG?

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 Asha Palmer, CECO at Convercent.
Palmer discusses her decision to join Convercent—traditional CECO plus more. She believes that the profession must continue to go toward collaboration, conversation, and digitalization. Her belief is that CECOs must be seen as business partners and that technology will fuel and help drive that partnership. She concludes on why CECOs must start thinking about and approaching things differently.

FDIC and 3rd Party Risks
The FDIC invites comments on proposed guidance to banking institutions on managing 3rd party relationships risks. The Kitchen explores the timeline, applicability and what to comment on.
To leave a legacy of operational excellence in compliance is what Global Chief Compliance Officer, Strategic Leader, and Partner at StoneTurn Jonathon Kellerman hopes to achieve in this dynamic industry.
He has been at the forefront of the evolution of compliance programs in health care, life sciences, and pharmaceuticals with over 25 years of experience in compliance strategy, program development and execution; controls design; operational excellence; risk assessment and mitigation; complex investigations; and negotiating and managing government settlements.
Major takeaways discussed in the episode:
✔️ Glean lessons from Jonathon’s unique journey starting a health care compliance practice that served as the first in the industry. His experience in a consulting practice helped health care providers with complex compliance challenges.
✔️ Traditional compliance has been limited by the rigid standards around an audit mentality. Jonathon shares that the focus on looking at transactions in silos instead of the holistic approach of looking at data over time is what’s made compliance programs from being truly effective.
✔️ Compliance programs limiting themselves to the standard practice of risk management will risk being irrelevant in future companies.
✔️ The COVID-19 pandemic broke barriers and accelerated digital transformation. Every company does it to some extent in utilizing digital platforms and data that opens up new ways of rethinking our traditional engagements.
✔️ Advanced technologies use data and digital platforms that create a new type of risk. But it also means that more than ever, there’s a lot of pressure put on companies to operate quickly and very efficiently.
✔️ The skills needed for the compliance professionals of the future is something never taught in law school. Jonathon emphasizes that an individual in the compliance space must speak business language, have trust and credibility, and be willing to think outside the box.
