Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley.
In the episode entitled “The Power of One” Mary Shirley and Fernanda Beraldi talk about an initiative Fernanda has worked on in her community to help bring Compliance principles and techniques to a wider number of organizations. Oftentimes smaller companies don’t have the resources available to them to implement full. We focus on the idea that small ripples can create great waves and how one person’s efforts can truly change the world of those around them.
We also talk about how to incorporate a sense of balance for people who thrive on hustle – getting things done as a mover and shaker can exhilarating and satisfying but also can be tiring and draining for those constantly on the go. These types of people often find it hard to say no. Mary and Fernanda discuss what it’s like to be people who like to keep a full plate and give back whole-heartedly while setting boundaries, particularly when it comes to having to diplomatically turn someone down.

In this episode of Great Women in Compliance podcast, Lisa had the opportunity to speak with Fernanda Beraldi, who is Senior Director, Ethics and Compliance at Cummins, Inc. Fernanda started her career in Sao Paolo in Brazil, and started on her path to compliance when she was a junior attorney who worked on one of the first FCPA cases in South America and saw first-hand what can happen when people are not “walking the walk,” even if the policies are strong.
Fernanda came to the United States for a masters in law program in Indiana, and stayed in Indianapolis. We discussed a number of different things, including:
- Overcoming assumptions from others, including those in her LLM program assuming she would be interested in immigration or other South America focused areas;
- Breaking down cultural barriers and stereotypes as a Brazilian woman in the mid-west United States and about her work-life balance
- The use of American sports lingo and slang in business and some memorable and funny moments and conversations Fernanda has had in the US
