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.

From Kentucky Fried Chicken in Louisville, Joe moved to Round Rock, TX, to work at Dell Inc. He began in Federal Government Sales, where he developed a compliance program for GSA and TAA work for  Dell Federal. He moved into compliance with the “big switch” from commercial legal to Chief Compliance Counsel. In this role, he was instrumental in building a new FCPA program using the Federal Sentencing Guidelines as a guideline.
