Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley.
Trigger warning: This episode contains a baby loss story and theme. The Great Women in Compliance Podcast often covers instances of “doing the right thing”. We’ve previously done it regarding respect and dignity in the hiring process and today’s episode focuses on empathy and compassion by employers when employees suffer a tragedy. Jill Atstupenas shares her and her husband’s story of losing their dearly desired baby girl, Hadley Maeve and provides some thoughtful considerations for how managers and company staff more broadly can respond in a way that shows support for the colleague and lets them know they are a valued member of staff. Her ideas are practical, tangible and actionable items that will guide managers who truly care about their staff. The title of today’s episode is our tribute to Hadley Maeve.
Jill also discusses how peers and other colleagues can help a colleague going through a difficult time to navigate it so that even if you’re not a manager, you can walk the walk of being a beacon of integrity in an organization.
We end the episode with Jill discussing some of the differences for Compliance Officers transitioning from a well-established large company, to a smaller one with less of a history.

Alison Taylor is one of Mary’s favorite thought leaders. After last appearing on the show in 2020 with Lisa, we invited Alison back to hear about her latest project, a book you’ll hear about and her latest musings on ESG including challenges for companies and what Alison is predicting about the future of ESG – you won’t want to miss it!
We ask Alison who she would give an ethical award to up until this point in 2022 and we think you’ll be in agreement with her thoughts on this leader who has exemplified tone from the top.
The GWIC team sends their thanks for all of the well wishes received for their milestone 150th episode last week.

Welcome to the Spring Season for the Great Women in Compliance Podcast. Today, we have a first on the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, our first guest host. Our producer, Tom Fox recently interviewed Edye Edens, a Consultant in Human Subject Research Compliance for First Class Solutions, Inc. Tom contacted us and said the interview was more a #GWIC style podcast than his standard interview and asked if he could post it on the Great Women in Compliance Podcast and we said yes.
Tom and Edye discuss her background growing up in a small town in Oklahoma and then explore her academic and professional background at length and how each role has influenced her career in compliance. Edye has worked for a large academic institution in Indiana and has been involved in numerous human rights-focused, non-governmental organizations both in the U.S. and abroad while also living overseas.
Edye now works in the area of human subject research compliance and details the challenges unique to that profession. They discuss working both in-house in compliance and as an outside consultant and the benefits and encounters each perspective brings to the compliance profession.

Today is the day after International Women’s Day, and we are so pleased to welcome Alison Hinds-Pearl. Alison is the Chief Compliance Officer and Assistant General Counsel at Revlon and previously had senior roles at MasterCard and Bayer. Her career is remarkable in many ways, particularly as she has been in three very different industries, finance, pharma and now beauty and self-care products.
Alison talks about the differences and similarities in these different industries, particularly as finance and pharma are so heavily regulated. Alison also started at Revlon during the pandemic and discusses her experience.
Lisa and Alison discuss the importance of diversity in our organizations, and Alison shares some insight from her experience, as a woman and as a woman of color, including an early experience at the Bronx District Attorney’s Office. This is a great discussion not only for Women’s History Month, but to conclude the winter session of #GWIC.
Great Women in Compliance will be back on March 30 with a special bonus episode hosted by Tom Fox. Lisa and Mary want to say thank you to the #GWIC community, especially during Women’s History Month.

It is an exceptional few in Compliance who are creative or artistic.
