Great Women in Compliance: Paula For the People: Let Go to Reach Further

What does it look like when your job title and your soul are perfectly aligned? For ethics & compliance officer Paula Young, the answer has always been simple: it’s about the people.

In this conversation, Paula Young and Sarah Hadden dive into what it really means to lead with humanity—how she earned the nickname “Paula For the People,” why she believes compliance is less about rules and more about winning hearts and minds, and what it took for her to stop being the person everyone handed work to and start being the person everyone looked to for vision.

A moment that has stayed with me is Paula’s story of a mud run she almost didn’t do. Standing at the base of a wall, covered in mud, holding on with everything she had—until her cousin screamed from the top, “You have to let go.” What she learned in that moment has carried her through divorce, reinvention, and every transition since.

We also talk about her work with Junior Achievement; her involvement with What Moves Her—a community that empowers women in leadership; and where she finds herself now: in a season of listening, learning, and gathering the courage for whatever comes next.

This episode begins cold—no introductions, no small talk—just Paula, at her most authentic, telling us exactly why she loves what she does. Enjoy.

Great Women in Compliance: Culture is What Happens When No One is Watching

Culture is one of those topics in ethics and compliance that everyone talks about—but it’s also one of the hardest things to define and even harder to build. At Compliance Week, Lisa Fine discussed this with Amy Schuh, partner at Morgan Lewis; Kilby McFadden, Managing Director and Head of Investigations at KPMG; and Michael Ortwein, Chief Compliance Officer and Assistant General Counsel at GM. Today, Amy and Kilby continue the discussion with Lisa Fine and Sarah Hadden.

They start by discussing what they see as a strong compliance culture. As Kilby says, it’s what happens when no one is watching. The conversation focuses on how organizations move beyond policies and training to build trust, encourage employees to speak up, and empower leaders to make ethical decisions—even when those decisions are difficult.

Amy and Kilby share practical insights from years of experience leading investigations and advising organizations, discussing who really owns culture, how companies can create trust in the reporting process, and why relationships with the business matter just as much as policies and procedures. They also explore the challenges of building a consistent culture across global organizations and offer ideas for strengthening culture even when resources are limited.

They also include key takeaways for compliance professionals, such as the importance of listening, staying curious about the business, and building relationships before issues arise, and each shares one “myth” about Ethics & Compliance they think should be debunked.

Great Women in Compliance: Seeing Compliance from Every Angle with Billy Jacobson

On this episode of Great Women in Compliance, Lisa is joined by a true “Great Gentleman in Compliance,” Billy Jacobson. Billy has been a leader in Ethics and Compliance for many years, as a prosecutor, a former DOJ Fraud Section leader, Chief Compliance Officer at Weatherford, and at private law firms, now as a co-founder of Jacobson Lopez,  a boutique law firm helping clients navigate ABAC, anti-money laundering, fraud, investigations, and compliance.

Lisa and Billy discuss what he has learned from these varied roles and apply this to how compliance professionals should navigate today’s evolving enforcement environment. He also shares his reasoning as to why organizations should remain committed to strong programs regardless of enforcement trends and the challenges of maintaining resources in a changing business climate.

Billy is an expert in the internal investigation space and shares his view on how AI and technology are reshaping internal investigations, why human judgment remains essential, and the importance of balancing efficiency with relationship-building across an organization.

This episode is not only helpful in thinking about your programs and the current global enforcement environment but also a reminder that you never know when you meet people—Lisa met Billy in student government in her first semester of college, and they are now talking about ethics & compliance years later.

Great Women in Compliance: Raising the Bar on Compliance Training

What makes compliance training actually work in 2026? It has come a long way from the days when simply having a training program was considered enough. In this episode, Lisa talks with Kirsten Liston, CEO and Founder of Rethink Compliance, to discuss how expectations for compliance training have evolved over the past two decades and what organizations should be thinking about today. Kirsten discusses her experience in the compliance learning space and shares insights from her recent white paper, “Raising the Bar: A New Standard for Compliance Training.” She reflects on the best ways to create training that is engaging, relevant, and capable of driving real impact in organizations of any size.

Kirsten and Lisa discuss the growing focus on engagement and effectiveness, the challenges of reaching global audiences while maintaining consistency, and the importance of helping employees understand why ethics and compliance matter rather than focusing on the rules. They look ahead to the role AI plays now and will play in the future of compliance learning and why, even as technology advances, human-centered communication remains essential. This conversation offers both a look back at how the field has changed and practical insights for compliance professionals seeking to ensure their training programs continue evolving to meet their unique organizational needs.

Great Women in Compliance: Wildly Effective, 10 Years Later

Author and compliance professional Kristy Grant-Hart on the 10th anniversary of her book. 

Sarah Hadden sits down with Kristy Grant Hart to discuss the 10th anniversary edition of her influential book, How to Be a Wildly Effective Compliance Officer. They explore how the compliance profession has evolved over the past decade — from a rules-and-regulations mindset toward a more human-centered approach grounded in influence, resilience, storytelling, and leadership.

They also dig into some of the book’s more debated ideas, including personal branding, visibility, networking, and whether being “wildly effective” requires becoming an influencer.

Along the way, they tackle burnout, resilience, AI’s rapidly expanding role and why human judgment remains irreplaceable. This is a candid and energizing conversation about what it really takes to thrive in compliance today — and why the future of the profession is bright.

Great Women in Compliance: Clarity, Confidence, Results: Women Over 50 at Work

In this episode, Sarah Hadden and Caveni Wong explore the unique strengths women over 50 bring to today’s workplace—and why those strengths are often overlooked.

Drawing on a career that spans consulting, sales, and ethics & compliance leadership, Caveni reflects on the power of experience, the value of judgment and relationship-building, and the kind of leadership that doesn’t rely on title or authority. They talk candidly about nonlinear career paths and what it means to reach a stage where you can choose what’s next with clarity and confidence.

Along the way, they find an unexpected metaphor in sourdough bread—patient, resilient, and built over time—much like the careers and capabilities we develop across decades.

Great Women in Compliance: Reflections on Investigations, Culture and the Future

In this episode of Great Women in Compliance, Lisa Fine speaks with Becky Rohr, Chief Compliance Officer and Head of Investigations at Ericsson. Becky talks about how her career journey led her to join Ericsson during a monitorship to strengthen their investigations function.

To do that, she focused on conducting fair, thorough, and efficient investigations, enhancing investigator training, and improving processes for collecting and reviewing digital evidence within a global organization. This led to her being named Chief Compliance Officer at Ericsson and to the benefits of integrating investigations and compliance.  Not only did this lead to the continued evolution of their compliance function, but it also connected hotline reports, investigations, and remediation by using creative approaches to reinforcing ethics at Ericcson.

Lisa and Becky also discuss how the Ericcson team has addressed workplace misconduct globally, sustaining compliance improvements after a monitorship ends, and the importance of leadership communication in maintaining a strong ethical culture.

The conversation also touches on culture change, addressing workplace misconduct globally, and how organizations can sustain strong compliance programs even after regulatory oversight ends.

Finally, Becky reflects on her decision to leave Ericsson and take a “power of the pause” moment before deciding on her next chapter—an approach that highlights the value of reflection and intentional career choices.

Celebrating 300 Episodes of Great Women in Compliance: A Movement, Not Just a Podcast

Reaching 300 episodes is no small feat in the world of podcasting. It takes vision. It takes discipline. It takes community. Most of all, it takes purpose. The Great Women in Compliance (GWIC) podcast has reached that remarkable milestone, and it is worth pausing to celebrate what this achievement truly represents. This is not simply the longevity of a show. It is the sustained elevation of voices that has reshaped the compliance profession.

From its founding by Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley to its current hosting team of Lisa Fine, Hemma Lomax, Sarah Hadden, and Ellen Hunt, GWIC has become far more than a podcast. It has become a platform, a mentoring network, and a cornerstone of the compliance community. As part of the Compliance Podcast Network, I am proud to say it stands as one of the most impactful and influential voices in our profession.

The Vision of the Founders

When Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley launched GWIC, they did so with a simple but powerful idea: compliance needed more visible female leadership, more shared stories, and more authentic conversations. Compliance has long been a profession filled with talented, capable, and principled women. Yet historically, their voices were not always amplified equally. The founders recognized that gap and moved to close it.

They did not create a show focused narrowly on technical guidance. They created a forum for professional development, ethical leadership, resilience, career navigation, and community building. They humanized compliance. That matters because compliance is often framed in terms of policies, controls, investigations, and enforcement actions. Great Women in Compliance reframed the conversation around leadership journeys, decision-making under pressure, cultural intelligence, and personal growth. Three hundred episodes later, that founding vision continues to define the show.

The Evolution of Leadership

As the podcast matured, leadership transitioned in a way that mirrors the very principles the show promotes: succession, collaboration, and shared stewardship. Today, the podcast is hosted by Lisa Fine, joined by Hemma Lomax, Sarah Hadden, and Ellen Hunt. Each brings a distinct voice and perspective to the table.

Hemma Lomax contributes a global compliance lens, grounded in regulatory rigor and practical implementation. Sarah Hadden brings strategic governance insight and a board-facing perspective that resonates deeply with senior leaders. Ellen Hunt offers a powerful blend of ethics, integrity, and operational expertise that connects culture to controls. Lisa Fine is well, Lisa Fine, a woman who, along with Mary Shirley, changed the world of compliance.

This team dynamic demonstrates an important aspect of modern compliance leadership: it is not hierarchical. It is collaborative. The podcast models what strong compliance programs aspire to achieve internally: diverse voices, respectful dialogue, and shared accountability.

Why GWIC Matters

The question is not simply why the podcast has endured. The question is: why has it become essential listening for compliance professionals worldwide? There are several reasons.

1. It Elevates Role Models

You cannot be what you cannot see. Great Women in Compliance has consistently highlighted leaders at every stage of their careers, from emerging professionals to chief compliance officers. It has provided visibility to talent that might otherwise remain unseen outside corporate walls. That visibility matters for the next generation. Young professionals entering compliance hear real stories of career pivots, setbacks, ethical dilemmas, and leadership breakthroughs. They hear authenticity instead of perfection. That is empowering.

2. It Bridges Technical and Personal Development

Many compliance resources focus exclusively on regulations and enforcement trends. Those are important, but they are not sufficient. GWIC addresses the human dimension of compliance leadership. It tackles topics such as navigating difficult reporting lines, advocating for resources, handling burnout, negotiating compensation, and managing crises. In other words, it addresses the real-world challenges compliance professionals face daily. The result is a podcast that supports both competence and confidence.

3. It Strengthens Community

One of the most underappreciated aspects of compliance is its isolation. Many compliance officers operate in small teams or even as a “team of one.” They often carry heavy responsibility with limited internal allies. GWIC builds connections. Listeners hear their own experiences reflected to them. They gain practical advice. They gain reassurance that their challenges are shared. They gain community. In a profession defined by independence and integrity, community is a powerful counterbalance.

4. It Normalizes Ambition

There was a time when ambition in compliance, particularly among women, was often underplayed. GWIC normalizes aspiration. Guests openly discuss career advancement, executive presence, board interaction, and strategic leadership. They speak candidly about how to position compliance as a value driver rather than a cost center. That message aligns directly with where the profession is headed. Compliance is no longer confined to checking boxes. It is integrated into corporate strategy, enterprise risk management, and ESG initiatives. The podcast reflects that evolution.

A Platform Within the Compliance Podcast Network

GWIC is a proud part of the Compliance Podcast Network, and its success reflects the broader strength of that platform. The Compliance Podcast Network was built on the idea that compliance conversations should be accessible, practical, and forward-looking. GWIC exemplifies that mission. Within the network, the show occupies a unique space. It is simultaneously technical and personal, strategic and relatable. It broadens the conversation while deepening it. Three hundred episodes within a professional niche is not simply a number. It is evidence of sustained engagement, loyalty, and impact.

The Broader Impact on the Profession

Over 300 episodes, GWIC has done more than spotlight individual careers. It has shaped the culture of the compliance profession itself.

It has reinforced that:

  • Ethical leadership is not optional.
  • Diversity of perspective strengthens governance.
  • Mentorship is a professional obligation.
  • Authenticity enhances credibility.
  • Collaboration drives resilience.

These themes echo across boardrooms, regulatory agencies, and multinational corporations. The podcast has helped elevate compliance from a technical specialty to a leadership discipline.

The Power of Continuity

Longevity in podcasting requires consistency. It requires preparation, thoughtful interviewing, and disciplined production. It requires hosts who are willing to invest time week after week. Three hundred episodes represent years of commitment. The founders, Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley, established the tone and purpose. The current hosts, Lisa Fine, Hemma Lomax, Sarah Hadden, and Ellen Hunt, have carried that purpose forward with energy and professionalism. That continuity is itself a lesson for compliance programs. Strong initiatives endure when they are rooted in shared values and supported by collaborative leadership.

Looking Ahead

If the first 300 episodes were about visibility, empowerment, and connection, the next 300 will likely focus on influence. The compliance profession is evolving rapidly. Artificial intelligence, geopolitical instability, sanctions regimes, ESG reporting, and data privacy are reshaping risk landscapes. Compliance leaders must adapt while preserving integrity. GWIC is well-positioned to guide that conversation. The show will continue to highlight leaders who are not only responding to regulatory change but shaping organizational culture.

A Moment Worth Celebrating

Three hundred episodes is a milestone that deserves recognition.

It represents courage in launching something new.

It represents dedication to sustaining it.

It represents leadership in expanding it.

Most importantly, it represents community. GWIC has become essential listening because it speaks to the whole compliance professional, not just the regulator-facing expert, but the mentor, the strategist, the advocate, and the leader.

Congratulations to Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley for their vision. Congratulations to Lisa Fine, Hemma Lomax, Sarah Hadden, and Ellen Hunt for their stewardship. And congratulations to the broader compliance community for embracing a platform that has strengthened us all. Three hundred episodes in, the impact is clear. Great Women in Compliance is not simply a podcast. It is a movement.

Lisa and Mary Changed the World: The Great Women in Compliance Community

In the world of compliance, where incremental victories often measure progress against pervasive risks, it’s rare to witness a revolution. Yet Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley have achieved just that. Through their groundbreaking podcast, Great Women in Compliance (GWIC), they did not just host conversations; they redefined what it means to foster a community. Alongside their book Sending the Elevator Back Down, they have created a legacy of empowerment, collaboration, and celebration in a field that thrives on shared knowledge and collective strength.

Lisa and Mary were recently honored for their work in creating GWIC, the GWIC community, and leading the development of an entire movement of women supporting other women in the worldwide compliance community. The Compliance Podcast Network named Lisa and Mary the co-winners of its first annual Agora Award for Excellence in Podcasting.

The Birth of Great Women in Compliance

The idea for Great Women in Compliance was sparked at an SCCE Society of Corporate Compliance and Ethics (SCCE) event in 2018. As the story goes, Lisa and Mary approached compliance podcasting veteran Tom Fox with a simple yet bold observation: the Compliance Podcast Network needed more diverse voices. Tom, true to form, responded with a challenge: “When will you start a podcast?”

The rest is history. With no prior experience in podcasting, Lisa and Mary leaped, driven by a shared vision of showcasing women’s stories, insights, and challenges in the compliance profession. With support from mentors like Matt Kelly and colleagues across the compliance community, the duo recorded their first episodes. What began as a grassroots effort quickly became a cornerstone of the compliance industry.

Building a Legacy: The Podcast, the Community, and the Book 

  • The GWIC Podcast: Amplifying Women’s Voices

From its inception, the GWIC podcast stood out for its authenticity and relatability. Lisa and Mary adopted an informal yet insightful interviewing style, allowing their guests to shine. The podcast featured diverse voices, from seasoned compliance leaders to rising stars, and explored various topics, including leadership, career development, and the unique challenges women face in compliance. Their approach was not simply about storytelling but about creating a platform for empowerment. The podcast became a hub for listeners to gain practical advice, discover new perspectives, and connect with a broader network of professionals.

  • The Community: A Network of Support

The GWIC podcast inspired not only listeners but also catalyzed a movement. Recognizing the need for a dedicated space for women in compliance, Lisa and Mary launched the Great Women in Compliance LinkedIn group. This online community became a vibrant forum for networking, mentorship, and resource sharing. Through this community, women found mentors, job opportunities, and a sense of belonging in an isolating field. It also spurred the creation of dedicated women in compliance sessions at significant conferences, highlighting the widespread impact of Lisa and Mary’s vision.

  • GWIC: The Book – Sending the Elevator Back Down

In October 2020, Lisa and Mary released Sending the Elevator Back Down, a book that encapsulated their philosophy and amplified women’s voices across the compliance field. The book featured stories of triumph, resilience, and lessons learned from compliance professionals worldwide. The book was published by Corporate Compliance Insights and headed by Sarah Hadden, an early supporter of GWIC who continues her support of and participation in GWIC to this day. The title reflects their core belief: success is most meaningful when shared. By “sending the elevator back down,” Lisa and Mary encouraged readers to uplift others as they rise, fostering a culture of collaboration and mutual support.

Overcoming Challenges: Lessons from the GWIC Journey 

Lisa and Mary’s journey has not been without its challenges. As they readily admit, neither had technical experience when they began podcasting. They leaned on mentors and allies to navigate the technical aspects, demonstrating the power of community in achieving ambitious goals. Additionally, their differing styles, Mary’s free-form conversational approach, and Lisa’s structured format might have posed a challenge in less harmonious partnerships. Instead, they embraced their differences, allowing their unique strengths to complement each other.

Their journey also highlights the importance of perseverance and adaptability. From launching the podcast to publishing the book during a global pandemic, Lisa and Mary consistently turned obstacles into opportunities.

The Impact: Changing the Compliance World

It is impossible to overstate the influence of Great Women in Compliance. Through representation and recognition, they have spotlighted the achievements of women in compliance. Lisa and Mary helped reshape perceptions of what leadership in this field looks like. GWIC has been a clearinghouse for professional development within the compliance community, as listeners and community members have reported finding mentors, gaining new insights, and even landing jobs thanks to connections made through GWIC.

Finally, GWIC, both the podcast and the community, has fostered a culture of inclusivity and support in compliance.

The Next Chapter

With 250 podcast episodes and a growing community, Great Women in Compliance shows no signs of slowing down. Mary has retired her co-host microphone and is now the ‘OG’ of GWIC. The GWIC podcast has expanded to include co-hosts Hemma Lomax, Ellen Hunt, and Sarah Hadden, ensuring the platform remains dynamic and inclusive. Lisa and Mary are also exploring the possibility of a second book, aiming to continue telling the stories that inspire and empower their community.

A Call to Action: Be the Change

For those who think you cannot change the world, I point you to Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley. They have proven that two women with a vision can. They built a legacy that empowers not just women in compliance but the entire industry worldwide. Their work serves as a reminder that creating meaningful change does not require a perfect plan, just passion, perseverance, and the courage to start.

Celebrating their achievements, we should all take their message to heart: success is amplified when shared. Whether through mentorship, advocacy, or simply lending a listening ear, we all have the power to lift others as we rise. Lisa and Mary have sent the elevator back down. Now, it’s up to the rest of us to ensure it keeps moving.

The Agora Awards for Excellence in Podcasting: How Mary Shirley and Lisa Fine Literally Changed the Compliance World

I am more than beyond thrilled to announce the First Annual Compliance Podcast Network Agora Award for Excellence in Podcasting, a celebration that honors those who have used podcasting to elevate the compliance field, enrich our understanding, and inspire change. Why the moniker of the Agora Award? The Agora was the heartbeat of ancient Greek city-states, serving as a central gathering place for a wide range of civic activities. The Agora was the cultural, political, and social hub where citizens came together to exchange ideas, debate public issues, participate in decision-making, and stay informed about civic matters. In many ways, that is what podcasting has become today, and in the case of Lisa and Mary, they created an entire community of Great Women in Compliance.

The Agora’s significance extended beyond politics and commerce; it was a vibrant cultural center where art, religion, and education flourished. It was a space where people could experience the interconnectedness of every aspect of their lives, from governance and trade to philosophy and worship. The Agora symbolized the Greek ideal of civic engagement and the pursuit of knowledge, laying the foundations for many aspects of Western culture and democratic ideals that continue to influence societies today.

In other words, I cannot think of a better name for the Annual Compliance Podcast Network Award for Excellence in Podcasting. Moreover, I cannot think of any more qualified persons to be awarded this inaugural award than two trailblazers who have changed the world through podcasting: Mary Shirley and Lisa Fine, co-founders of the Great Women in Compliance podcast (GWIC).

Mary and Lisa saw a gap in the compliance podcasting world: a need for a space that celebrated, supported, and connected (great) women in compliance. In a few short years, their podcast has grown into a powerful community that crosses continents and connects professionals across disciplines. By highlighting women’s voices in compliance, they built a platform that is more than a podcast; it is a movement that champions diversity, collaboration, and leadership. They celebrated their story and journey with Great Women in Compliance in their book Sending the Elevator Back Down: What We’ve Learned From Great Women in Compliance.

Their contributions have inspired countless compliance professionals to think bigger, engage deeper, and connect more meaningfully with their work and peers. This year’s Agora Award recognizes the powerful content they have created, the community they have nurtured, and the doors they have opened for voices across the compliance spectrum. Indeed, while Mary has moved on in her compliance career, Great Women in Compliance continues to be as vibrant today, with Hemma Lomax co-hosting with Lisa and Ellen Hunt and Sarah Hadden hosting roundtable podcasts.

Mary Shirley said of the award,

Our aim to advance and empower women in the field of Ethics and Compliance and create a scalable knowledge-sharing opportunity for all was initially just an aspiration.  Receiving this award is a heartwarming acknowledgment that our efforts, those of our esteemed guests, our production team, and supporters, have not been in vain or gone unnoticed.  I believe that when one of our boats rises, all of our boats rise, and I know that the #GWIC team continuing to bring podcasts to the community and sending the elevator back down will continue to lift us all.

Lisa Fine said of the award, 

When Mary and I started the Great Women in Compliance podcast, we wanted to amplify the voices of the extraordinary women in the Ethics & Compliance field, given that so many women had built the profession.  We saw no women-led on the network, and we jumped in. I am so thrilled about what GWIC has become.  The podcast launched a community and book, building many personal and professional relationships.  And I am most proud of how it is constantly evolving, where we now have additions to our podcast team with Hemma Lomax, Ellen Hunt, and Sarah Hadden, and our GWIC emerita, Mary, to continue to uplift women and those who support women in Ethics & Compliance.

I hope that you will plan to join me on Tuesday, November 19, from 12 to 3 ET to celebrate Mary and Lisa and what they create, Great Women in Compliance. I will interview both Mary and Lisa about not only their experiences in creating GWIC but, equally importantly, other members, hosts, and guests from the Compliance Podcast Network.
