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 John Melican, former CCO at AMEX Travel and now Managing Director at Exiger.
Melican moved into the CCO chairs at AMEX travel. He said a key lesson was that being a CCO was leading through orchestration not simply execution. A key was working with others in the business unit to educate them on how compliance changes were made but why they benefited AMEX Travel. He discussed some of his top challenges that he faced and how he and his compliance team overcame them through collaboration.
