Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley.
One of the interesting things about ethics & compliance as a field is that we look at ethical decision-making and policies and working to be innovative and approachable. In today’s episode Lisa speaks with Hemma Ramrattan Lomax, Senior Corporate Counsel, Integrity and Compliance at Snap, Inc. As you may have heard last week with Nicole Diaz, Snap is doing exactly with their Code of Conduct and how they center so many things around their core value of kindness. Hemma elaborates on this and the career she has built through the art of integrity.
When she was younger, Hemma’s goal was to be the first female Secretary General of the UN (which still has not happened), and Hemma talks about how this brought her into law as she grew up in the UK, to deciding to come to the US to work for the SEC, and eventually to Snap. She mentions how her work now relates to her earlier goals, and that radical curiosity is what keeps her career and interests evolving.
To Hemma, the “art of integrity” has guided her career interests, and how we can all do that to make impactful changes, whether it is in our communities, in DEI, or in other ways.
