Ann Sultan – Diversity as a Regulatory Issue

Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley.

Today Lisa speaks with Ann Sultan, Partner and Practice Lead for the Europe-Caucasus-Asia Practice Group at Miller & Chevalier. Ann helps multinational companies build their compliance programs and conduct global investigations to support their anti-corruption, anti-harassment, and anti-discrimination objectives.

Ann has spent most of her career in law firms and talks about how she built her practice and career, noting how the support of more senior women at Miller & Chevalier was impactful in her career growth. Lisa and Ann also discuss the topic of diversity as a regulatory issue, and how the NASDAQ guidance on this topic and the UK FCA statements make this even more clear.

Ann also contributed to “Sending the Elevator Back Down: What We’ve Learned From Great Women in Compliance,” (CCI Press 2020), and Lisa and Mary will be guests at the Seven Elements Book Club on May 11 on Zoom to discuss the book. Please message them if you would like to know more.
