Fit for Purpose and Reading the Tea Leaves


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 Scott Sullivan, the Chief Integrity and Compliance Officer at Newmont Mining.
Scott Sullivan is a versatile and innovative governance, risk, compliance, ethics and legal executive with significant experience advising C-suite leaders and Boards of Directors in a global enterprise in a wide array of sensitive, high profile subject matter areas. He has extensive leadership in designing, implementing and enhancing world-class programs and favorably resolving regulatory crises for multinationals. He has managed ethics and compliance for a $5B global Fortune 500 corporation, directing a Business Integrity & Compliance function impacting 20,000 employees in over 55 countries with over 100 legal entities.
In this Episode 2, we explore how a CCO can stay in the front of the wolf pack and not fall behind. Our discussion includes, what are the internal signs, indicia or data a CCO should be looking at? Why does a CCO need a seat at the table to stay in front? And the external information you need to have from such diverse sources as the regulators, competitors, customers, suppliers and others.
