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 skills does a CCO need to navigate the compliance waters in any company successfully? 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 Joe Burke, most recently the Chief Ethics & Compliance Officer and Employment Counsel, Quest Software Inc.

Episode 1- College & Early Career

From there, he transition to PepsiCo, Inc. in the Kentucky Fried Chicken sub in Louisville, KY and learned about the franchising world. He has some interesting observations on culture in the franchisor/franchisee relationship. He discusses how all of these institutions impacted his career going forward.
