Amy Hanan – Stepping into the Spotlight

Compliance is a profession dedicated to making the world a better place, and the contributions of many inspiring women enrich it. In a recent episode of the Great Women in Compliance podcast, guest host Sarah Haddon talked with Amy Hanan, LRN’s Chief Marketing Officer, about her career journey and the lessons she has learned.

Amy’s career has been a fascinating journey marked by constant learning and seizing opportunities. As the Chief Marketing Officer for LRN, Amy has transitioned from working behind the scenes to becoming a prominent figure in the compliance community. Her path is a testament to the importance of stepping out of one’s comfort zone and embracing new challenges. Amy’s role often involves extensive travel, balancing numerous business trips with her demanding responsibilities. Despite the hectic schedule, she has found a balance that allows her to thrive professionally and personally. This balance is crucial, as Amy emphasizes integrating personal interests and relaxation into one’s routine to maintain overall well-being.

A significant milestone in Amy’s career was delivering a keynote presentation at an international compliance event. This was a departure from her usual role behind the scenes, presenting a challenge she enthusiastically embraced. Speaking at the Future of Financial Crime and Compliance Summit in London, Amy shared her insights with a large audience, marking her first keynote at an external event.

Despite initial nervousness, Amy’s confidence grew as she engaged with material things she was passionate about. This experience underscored the value of preparation and the ability to connect with an audience on deeply resonating topics. It also highlighted the importance of visual aids in guiding and focusing the audience’s attention, making the presentation more effective.

Amy’s career trajectory has been shaped by her willingness to raise her hand and take on new challenges. She recalls a pivotal moment early in her career when she volunteered to lead the implementation of a new marketing automation platform at a media company. This decision set her on a path of redefining her professional journey, emphasizing the importance of stepping up when opportunities arise.

The parallels between marketing and compliance are striking, particularly in adopting technology and data analytics. Amy draws comparisons between the evolution of marketing departments and the current trajectory of ethics and compliance teams. Both fields are transitioning from being seen as cost centers to being recognized as value creators, driven by the availability of new tools and technologies.

Amy’s approach to her role is characterized by continuous learning and adaptation. She emphasizes the importance of staying informed about industry trends, regulatory changes, and best practices. By consuming a wealth of information from various sources, including podcasts, research reports, and industry events, Amy stays ahead of the curve and brings valuable insights to her organization.

Her background in legal marketing has provided a strong foundation for understanding the intricacies of the compliance field. This knowledge, combined with her curiosity and desire to understand the motivations behind different stakeholders, enables her to make informed decisions that drive business success.

Amy’s leadership style is defined by decisiveness and a bias towards action. She believes in making decisions promptly and avoiding analysis paralysis. This approach keeps projects moving forward and empowers her team to take ownership and learn from their experiences. Amy’s ability to balance decisiveness with empathy and understanding is key to her leadership effectiveness.

Amy applies the same principles of efficiency and decisiveness in her personal life. As a single parent with a demanding career, she values her time and prioritizes activities that help her recharge and maintain a positive outlook. Exercise, in particular, plays a crucial role in her routine, allowing her to clear her mind and relieve stress.

Amy navigates a significant personal transition as she adjusts to life as a single parent. This period of self-discovery is helping her redefine her identity and understand what truly brings her joy and fulfillment. Embracing this phase with curiosity and openness, Amy is exploring new interests and finding ways to enjoy her company.

Her journey underscores the importance of resilience and adaptability in the face of change. By staying curious and open to new experiences, Amy continues to grow personally and professionally, setting an example for others in compliance.

I found Amy Hanan’s story to be a powerful reminder of the importance of embracing opportunities, continuous learning, and decisiveness in the compliance profession. Her journey from behind-the-scenes roles to becoming a keynote speaker and leader in her field highlights the transformative power of stepping out of one’s comfort zone. As compliance professionals, we can draw inspiration from Amy’s example to navigate our careers with confidence, curiosity, and a commitment to making a positive impact.

In celebrating the contributions of women like Amy Haran, the Great Women in Compliance podcast continues to inspire and empower the next generation of compliance leaders. By sharing their stories and insights, we honor the remarkable women shaping the future of compliance and making the world a better place.
